Nosing: Sherry Peach Plum Berries Caramel Vanilla fruity, and definitely reminds me of berries- Sweet sherry. Also savory.

Taste: Sherry Caramel Sweet

Finish: Peach Sherry Nuts Raisin Malt Oak Spices - the majority or the complexity of the flavor comes in the finish.

Comment: Compared side by side to the Glenmorangie 10, this seems more sherry influenced, which is obvious. Gone are the strong vanilla (bourbon) flavors, somewhat replaced by a more woody flavor, berry and savory notes (sherry). On a 1-10 scale i'd rate it as 8.5 whereas the glenmorangie 10 would get a 8/10. It's different and more complex, however "better" would depend on which taste profile you like best. For a more "pleasant" sweet whisky go for the 10yo.
