Remarks:
I like it better than the standard 10. Very tasty. I only expected the smoke to be more present.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    slightly medicinal smoke, not as intense as with the standard 10, light sherry notes in the background, a little sweet with caramel, maritime notes follow and there is a little salt.

  • Taste: 87/100 points
    again the medicinal smoke envelops with light sherry notes. The aromas from the nose can also be found here. Here you can feel the alcohol a bit and it looks slightly spicy. Becomes a bit bitter later

  • Finish: 87/100 points
    medical notes in the finish. The smoke is only present in the background. Sherry flavors show up here too. Then towards the end it becomes bitter and dry
