Nose

Much weightier and characterful than most 10 Years Olds. Toffee and fresh figs. Enticing.

Palate

Glorious mouth feel: chewy and lush with cream toffee giving way to a sprinkling of demerara.

Finish

Brilliant! Just a hint of fettered spice, and then waves of oak and malt with vanilla.

Comment

This is a solid, gutsy whisky with wave-upon-wave of rich flavours and textures. A truly great malt. Older in style than the label suggests.
