One of my last few bottles of quite young, delicious, Cadenhead’s discontinued Small Batch series.

Teaninich 10 Year Old Cadenhead Small Batch
Teaninich 10 Year Old Cadenhead Small Batch / 55.1%
Tasted neat
This 10 Year Old Teaninich is 55.1% ABV, from a Cadenhead’s vatting of 3 hogsheads, yielding 876 bottles. It is cask strength, natural color, and non-chill-filtered. The back imprint has some of their notes:
Nose: Walnuts, green apples, freshly cut wood
Palate: Nutiness continues with caramelised banana and pinecones.
Finish: Brown sugar, cinnamon, and a slight lemon zest.
Color: 0.6 (old gold)
Nose: sunshine, green apple skins, flowers, and nautical ropes
Taste: Lots of banana, brulee, custard, and oaky pecans
Finish: medium, pistachio that turns to lemon
This is fantastically satisfying; despite it’s youth it’s full of flavour, quite zesty. Age statements matter very little on good whisky!
