I read and watched a lot of reviews on this one. I am a big fan of the 10. My take is, given the cost of living crises across the world and the foreseeable global recession - this is a solid dram especially if the 10year old is out of you budget. Smokey, Peated sweetness, medicinal and, with a hint of iodine and salty went well paired with smoked cheddar on cream cracker. This would be a easy go to on my shelf.
