Nose: fruity, dark fruit notes, coffee, peat and smoke all well rounded here. After smelling this, the vanilla comes out in the nose of the 10. Adding water brings out way more chocolate and coffee. Palate: a little bit of heat. Dark malt chewiness, prune, earthy peat and sherry. Heavier. Leather. Some definite smoked meat. Adding a few drops of water brings out the fruit and chocolate here way more too, with a nice peaty/smokey/phenolic backing, a bit of seaweed. Finish: pepper. Wood. Some phenols. Adding water brings out vegetal notes here.

Nose: slight phenols, a bit of peat, slight smoke. A slight hint of fruit (berry?) from the sherry casks. A touch of charred wood. Palate: a strong malty note, getting a tiny bit of the iodine/medicinal notes but way more toned down than normal. Sweeter than the 10 I remember. A tiny bit of fruit here. A hint of oak here too. More flat than the 10. Mild vanilla. Really low ABV. Finish: not as lingering and oily as the 10, but still there a bit.
