La Maison du Whisky came up with an interesting idea: The Ten.

It’s a series of 10 expressions, each representing a certain style of whisky rather than a region. It’s marketed as an “initiation” to Scotch whisky.

The bottles are ordered from light
(00, a single grain) over medium
(05, a sherried Speysider) to heavy
(09, a heavily peated Islay malt). The whisky comes from the Signatory Vintage stocks.

All of them are pretty young (2000 to 2005 vintages) so this time it’s really the style that makes the difference rather than the age

This lot is (Profile 09) is a Laphroaig 2000, bottled in 2010

70cl and bottled at 50.10%
