A simple wood-vanilla malt, with hints of lemon candy, honey, dough and vanilla baking in the aroma, a taste that repeats the aroma with a dominant vanilla and wood tones, and a simple malt-vanilla finish.
A sort of simple tasty “vanilla”, on this malt you can teach the theory of what vanilla means in single malt scotch tapes.

RATING: 82pts - [n21, t20, f20, b21] → | 80-82: Ordinary |

Color: Straw gold.
ABV: 46%.

Nose: Spirituous, bright. Freshly cut grass, sour dried fruits, a piece of wood, an oak barrel, a lemon with sugar. [n20]

Taste: Bright, sweet. Pear, apple, lemon is gone (sorry). Pepper and spices. [t17]

Finish: long, simple. Sweetness, vanilla, cereals. Somewhere far is milk chocolate. [f18]

Balance: Not a bad drink, which seemed to me to be excessively aggressive. Maybe because of the heat, maybe because of what else. Very interestingly decorated with vanilla. It seems banal sugar, then manifests itself. A good sour lemon in a scent that, to disappointment, completely disappears in taste. Freshness I would like more, with such a flavor, which more or less draws this drink. A bottle would not take. [b19]

A nice surprise: it's a light but very lively fresh summer dram with a fruity finish.

This is really a good, clean and well defined 10 year old. The nose is tangy with a distinct vanilla note and an astringent suggestion of overripe peach. The taste is floral and sweet with some bourbon cask influence impinging on the tastebuds. The finish is medium long and spicy with a hint of sherry in the background. Overall, a well balanced expression well inside daily dram territory.
