J & H Wilson - Top Mill No.1
Top Mill No.1 is scented with bergamot as the primary note, backed by citrus and floral notes over a natural tobacco base with sweet undertones. The grind is medium-fine with medium-moist texture, and the colour is light brown with reddish tints. Nicotine strength is low to medium-light.
The tobacco base has toasty and sweet characteristics. This is an SP-style traditional English snuff, where the tobacco remains noticeable beneath the bergamot scenting.

J & H Wilson - Top Mill No.1
I ordered the Med #99, and Sp#1 along with this Top Mill, and this is the best of the bunch, This is what I was looking for that bergamot scent. To the contrary to some of the other reviews there is absolutely NO "big, meaty notes of earth, biscuit, leather, toffee, peaty, peppery"...... Maybe that reviewer was having a coffee with their snuff. Nonetheless the Top Mill has a stronger bergamot scent than #01. I'm okay with this but in the future I might go with a different brand that has a bergamot product.
I had been a pipe smoker for decades and had recently been told to stop by my Dr. I had not used nasal snuff since the 1970's. I bounced around on the snuff sites for awhile trying to decide what to purchase. I ordered some Siberia in three different styles. Black, Brown and White. I got a couple of tins of non-tobacco Full Charge White Fox and an assortment box of McChrystals dry nasel snuff. Great packing, fast shipping and fresh products. I'll be returning soon!
Perfect snuff for anytime of the day
I thought I knew what to expect when I first cracked open a tin of this snuff. I bought it without really researching it, and when I realized that it was supposed to be an SP, I immediately expected a balance of citrus and earthy tobacco. That is not what this snuff delivers. The bergamot essence is very light and subtle. There are some hints of lavender here and there too. The base tobacco is really the star of the show with this snuff, delivering big, meaty notes of earth, biscuit, leather, sea salt, and toffee with light grassy, peaty, peppery hints to round it out. The grind is rather fine, though I have encountered finer grinds in other SP snuffs, and the moisture content is low-medium. The nicotine level strikes me as being somewhere between low and medium, especially for a snuff of this style. In other words, the nicotine is definitely there, but it does not pack as much of a punch as that of many of the other SP snuffs that I have tried to this point. This is a very good, solid SP-type snuff overall. Nothing is out of whack. The lovely base tobacco, decent moisture, good grind, and comparatively restrained nicotine all conspire to render this snuff exceptionally approachable and easy to take. It is definitely worth a try for those who are fans of snuffs of this style.
