The Malt Whiskey smell-alike was a Limoux, the 2005 Toque et Clochers Haut Vallee - honeysuckle and peat with a good grip and medium length, an acquired taste I suspect but as a Whiskey drinker I appreciated it. The interesting Bordeaux was Chateau Saint-Christoly 2003 Medoc, which had Violets, Tar and Menthol on the nose.
