  1. Kantenmechaniker scored this whisky 86 points Connoisseur

    It's a bit the tamed version of the Ten, I did not notice so much of the sherry influence, but a good complement of the standard range, which I would pour in now and then, if I did not have hundreds of samples in front of me ;-)
    • Nose
      Beautiful phenolic smoke, somehow I have the feeling of sitting in a pine forest, spicy, but also fresh, grated lemon peel, greasy, under it slightly leathery, the Ardbegsüße is also there, but not as superficial as the Ten, the existing fruit note is more in Direction yellow fruits, right sherry associations I have now in the nose no, after the first sip even fresher, more citrus, lighter
    • Taste
      creamy, directly a lot of smoke, here now relatively sweet, greasy, some cinnamon, pepper, syrupy, honey, yellow fruit, vanilla, slightly chalky, the mouthfeel itself is quite dry, if you smack something is the bacon also something milk chocolate to guess , quite creamy, delicious but also quite simple
    • Finish
      dry, the ashy and spicy smoke dominates here, fruit on the palate, otherwise the mouth is still full of smoke with a light citrus note
