Which Should You Buy?
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that polarises opinion, from 'mothballs and bad breath' to 'uniquely intriguing'. Give it time to settle, and you'll be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated, clean drydown that hints at its legendary status.
Divisive, complex, and a touch chaotic - this one splits the crowd. Some hail it as a masterpiece, a truly unique blend of clean freshness and deep amber, while others find it a "mess" that leans too sweet or smells like earwax. Approach with caution; it's not a safe blind buy.
