The 'Smoky Ten' and 'Smoky Twelve' editions are blended from peated and unpeated distillates to produce whiskies at close to 25 ppm.

Feel: On the palate, there are notes of dried fruit, black pepper and dark chocolate, with a rich, velvety texture. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering notes of peat and burnt wood on the palate.
