We did a side-by-side of this 10 year with a 13 year and we both agreed that the 10 year fell well behind the 13 year. Has some nice notes on the nose pepper some mild sweetness, maybe a little tobacco and marshmallow, but with a tad of astringency. on the taste it is thin, and does not taste like the nose would suggest as it’s not spicy. It’s fine just nothing special. Short on the finish. Overall, it’s OK but one I would not buy again.
