Description

Batch 008 of the cask strength 10, released in 2016. The recipe holds but the casks vary, giving each batch its own character. The undiluted, non-chill-filtered flagship.

Ten years in ex-Bourbon, undiluted, give an oilier and denser 10 than the 40% release.

At 59.2% the medicinal peat hits hard, vanilla softening the base. The palate runs to smoke, a medicinal edge, a coal-gas edge, a rubbery note, dried fruit and cooked fruit.
