Nose

Fruitier than the 10 and in some ways more intense, though not as far as the peat is concerned.

Palate

Chewy and intense, but a feeling there is something missing. The oaky middle is slightly nutty.

Finish

Long, chocolatey and peaty. Lots of vanilla. Also a slightly off-putting tang that I can't recognise.

Comment

I do enjoy the big peat, but something is out of sync here. Enjoyable but ultimately disappointing.
