In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Booze & Vanille hits the air with a brisk flash of mandarin orange and citrus before diving into deep, decadent gourmand territory. The boozy punch arrives immediately. Dark Jamaican rum and smooth cognac pour over a thick base of bourbon vanilla and golden amber. You do not get a watery, sugar-cookie sweetness here. …

Reviews →

Abuser by Testament London is a dry, boozy woody blend that pairs heavy dark rum and cognac with a medicinal oud base. It fits cold autumn nights, wrapping the wearer in a dense cloud of tobacco leaf and burning birch wood.
