Comments: 

Well now, this is different from the newer 12yo. There’s an edge of smoke, and a touch of leathery peat, with a delicious grilled meat note. It’s like munching sultanas in a kebab shop. Highly enjoyable, and I believe bottles are still widely available and affordable.

Verdict:

I like this.
