- Nose
- Very lightly scented with nutty ice cream and sherry.
- Palate
- Rich dried fruit and chewy toffee, quite a mouth filling shock after the very delicate nose.
- Finish
- Fudgy.
- Comment
- After years of being overshadowed by its older wood finished cousins, this 10 Years Old is finally coming into its own.
75
- Nose
- Malty, toasted meal. Hint of cream, slight grassy/vegetal edge, cocoa powder, light citrus. Floral.

- Finish
- A burst of soft fruit, flowers.
- Comment
- Light and clean, delivers well on the palate.
