Tastes

Custard all the way. I love this one.

Lemon, orange and dried fruit. Nothing particularly interesting.

I have a bottle of Glen Scotia 15 bought a month or two ago, to learn about Campbeltown - SB 10 wasn't available. Tonight I ordered a dram of this. My first thought as I immediately expressed to my colleagues, SB 10 is more refined and GS 15 is more interesting. They're both sweet and spicy, the former's spiciness is from the nose to the finish while the latter is a more a sudden burst on the mid-palate. the latter's sweetness is more rounded and full. And they both have the very unique Campbeltown taste, I don't get that from anything from anywhere else. It's hard to compare, the profiles are fairly similar, I like them both.

Cereal, and dried or stewed fruits, and ashy, similar ashiness as what I get from Caol Ila. Spiciness here and there. Though it's somewhat harsh, nose to palate - not unpleasantly harsh, just intenser than I'd dreamt - alcohol is there present in a representing way. Chocolate is found in the finish. No, it does not roar. I care less than nothing about GoT - too violent for me, not that if it's not a great show or what. I was interested about the 9 age statement, like all the other pros. Though, somehow, for Lagavulin's profile, it's too young, same thought I have for Lagavulin 8 - the 16 is the thing. Not everything else can be too young, but Lagavulin? Nah. Well, right, so it roars somewhat.

Flavourful and spicy.

I got pineapple and a little citrus... not so much going on, pretty mild peat and smoke, yet they're there - not like medicinal or bonfire, more Caol Ila like peat, while the latter is lot more ashy and elegant.

Fairly complex and unique. Quite spicy in the long finish.

Very mellow and easy-going, not much going on yet nothing I didn't like.
