Right off the bat, the nose is combination of smoky oak notes. Because of the use of quarter casks, the wood character is about double that of the 10. The meaty flavor of the 10 is subdued and has turned into sweet, fruity flavors. Strong peat is at the forefront with a nice sweet finish. I highly recommend for someone used to the flavor of the 10 who wants something slightly sweeter on the nose and palate.
