An impressive 10-year-old single malt from Speyside, bottled at cask strength (54%) by independent bottler UD. This whisky is warm and rich, with a complex blend of fruity and sweet notes that reveal careful cask management. The octave cask has contributed to a concentrated, full-bodied profile that punches above its age statement.

The nose reveals fruitcake, vanilla, and honeycomb with pleasant warm apple notes and hints of dried tea. On the palate, it's soft and chewy with grilled berry character and excellent depth. The finish is warm and lingering, with rich, layered flavours that fade gracefully. This is a cracking dram that demonstrates the quality achievable from Speyside distilleries, even at a young age.
