Nose: Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too.
Taste: The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is oaky vanilla - hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate.
Finish: A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit.

Nose. Distinctly confidant liquorice-Bourbon notes with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound
Taste. Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big Bourbony cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molassed sugar normally associated; but the barley adds that extra dimension
Finish. Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death

Colour - Gentle amber with a slight yellow hue.
Nose - Soft, very aromatic with a hint of honey and lemon in the foreground.
Taste - Sweet to start with an appetising fruitiness and a long smooth finish. Light yet complex, smooth yet challenging. This is a dram that has something for everyone.

This might be young, but the use of a good Sherry barrel ensures that there is nothing missing. Surprisingly rich given the age, with a judicious use of Highland peat to round out the sherried fruit.

Appealing and lively take on this classic distillery, central to the Ballantines blend. There's lots of bright, sweet fruit upfront with a nicely matched malty core. Ageing in Bourbon barrels adds sweet vanilla and caramel overtones.

The Glenturret 10 Years Old celebrates our classic aperitif signature style by maturing our unpeated Glenturret spirit in predominantly American oak Sherry seasoned casks for 10 years. This expression has a wonderful variety of light flavours. Its initial aromas are full of succulent oranges, toffee apples and vanilla. The palate reveals further light, fresh flavours including soft wood spices and additional vanilla and citrus notes. The Glenturret is crafted at Scotland's Oldest Working Distillery and this exclusive bottling sublimely incorporates our light malt character, long heritage and careful maturation to craft the prefect delicate dram of Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Tasting Notes by The Glenturret's Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno:
Appearance: Honey, soft and vibrant
Aroma: Succulent orange is rich with wonderful depth. Toffee with apple follows. The apple develops fresher notes mingling with vanilla. Malt enters in a subtle way and almost shows honeycomb. Light oak envelopes in an unassuming way.
Taste: Soft wood spices and sweetness show early. Both ginger and cinnamon are in harmony followed by sweeter vanilla then citrus fruits lingering. Oak is developing from fresh new cut to slightly veneered.
Finish: Soft, spicy and warming

Aged in oak casks for at least sixteen years, this much sought-after single malt has the massive peat-smoke that's typical of southern Islay - but also offering a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram.

In making Laphroaig, malted barley is dried over a peat fire. The smoke from this peat, found only on Islay, gives Laphroaig its particularly rich flavour.
Those enjoying the 10 Year Old will first notice the bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. This full-bodied variant is the foundation of all Laphroaig expressions and comes with a long finish.
