The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Opens on roasted pistachio and hazelnut and dries to vanilla, so it reads nuttier and simpler, with less of the rum, cardamom and grapefruit lift.
Where it differs: Sold as an affordable take on Kingside, it aims at the same nutty gourmand, but there are few owner side-by-sides on how close the rum and tonka run.
