Peaty, smokey,vanilla, sweet all the things the profile indicate I also get the fruity with sweet. It has been a while since my last 10 yr old that I rember as more paler in color when compared the the 18 yr old, cask strength.definetly more peaty then the others and not quite as smooth relative to the others. I don't get the oily or full . A hint of briny salty in the bouquet. More a touch of spicy through out. Still my favorite of all Laphroaigs its the peaty bouquet and the smokiness 27 Feb 2015 my 69th birthday All the Best!
