TastedGot a sample from a friend who knows I love scotch. I liked the 12 year and the 10 was decent. Both had good flavor but lacked depth and were a little thin. The 18 is still a tad thin but corrects the depth issue. Poured neat the nose is mature and refined. The bubble gummy fruit punch has transformed into a nice orange oil rubbed executive desk complete with worn leather chair. The palate has old sherried fruits in a dank wine cellar. There is a dark roast/gym locker funk that only scotch lovers can appreciate. Finish is long aged leather and seasoned barrel oak with the dark fruit drifting away. There is a good malt presence throughout as well and the quality here is high. I am a firm believer that 18 is when scotch really starts to deliver full flavor saturation and complexity regardless of proof. This is not on the level of say the amazing Glendronich but can compete with the other famous Glens L & F 18 yr offerings. Down side is price as most bourbon guys are in constant sticker shock but I get it. This is just where you have to go price wise for longer aged scotch experience if you are a true malt lover........94/100 -

TastedNose: less strong than 12yo, more sherry, always wood and hazelnuts. Palate: more consistent than 12, as it is obvious: more sherry, more honey, a little bit more bitter, spicy and spicy. Final with bitterness in the mouth, nothing unforgettable. 3.75 _______________________________________________________ Naso meno forte del 12yo, più sherry, sempre legno e nocciole. Palato più consistente del 12, come ovvio che sia: più sherry, più miele, un po’ più amarognolo, speziato e piccante. Finale con amaro in bocca, nulla di indimenticabile. 3,75 -
