| TASTING NOTE: Colour: straw. Nose: more oak influence in this one, more grass, more hay, more leather, more tar, more graphite oil and maybe more peat. Okay, ‘a faint peatiness’. With water: maybe a tad butyric now, hints of sour cream... Then grains and muesli. Flints in the background, clay. Mouth (neat): again, a sweeter and more rounded version of the 10, with more liquorice as well, bitter oranges, pine resin (sweets) and notes of cinchona (Campari-style). With water: gets drier, closer to the ten ... Finish: long, more citrusy now. Comments: very good ... Score: * * * * (out of 5) (Serge Valentin, www.whiskyfun.com, May 11, 2010) |
