Outstanding maltiness and fresh bread.

The nose is faint fruit like pear or lychee, with a hint of Islay type oil. It is unmistakably sweet, with ripe fruit and honey. The finish is nice, with a hint of spice and lingering sweetness.

Légèrement fruité avec un soupçon de tourbe. De beaux arômes en bouche, fumé et très agréable, iodé mais pas à outrance. Peu de rondeur de prime abord mais plus sympa à la seconde lampée. Longue finale sur la langue et le palais, très agréable.

simply outstanding

Sherried but full flavor. Finish a bit lacking but very balanced, pleasant. Slight licorice hints under sherry and honey

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.

Sweet Peat.
