Gavin Smith
80- Nose
- More zest than the eight Years Old, fresh lemon, then it begins to veer towards sticky buns.
- Palate
- Dry, with resin notes. Dried fruits.
- Finish
- Appreciably longer than the 8 Years Old. Quite astringent.
- Comment
- The extra two years have made this a little drier, and it still lacks complexity. Improvement to come here.
Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Broad. Buttery and soft. Ripe fruits, demerara. Dusty and malty underneath, with some floral notes.
- Palate
- Soft and creamy but still young. A plump palate with brioche, light red fruits and crisp cereal.
- Finish
- Clean, refreshing, apple mint. Hard butterscotch, rhubarb.
- Comment
- Best neat. Clean, crisp attack.
