Tasting notes

Taster Peter Mulryan

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.

8.0

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Malty, toasted meal. Hint of cream, slight grassy/vegetal edge, cocoa powder, light citrus. Floral.
Palate: Clean, light and spicy. Apricot to start, then toast, cereal. Some chalky notes, nutty oak.
Finish: A burst of soft fruit, flowers.
Comment: Light and clean, delivers well on the palate.
