Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: rich, fruity, and chocolaty with a minty freshness; milk chocolate, Werther's Originals, and peanut brittle; orange bitters, pear drops, and Glosset Raisins; toasty with decadent spices; faint gentle peat.
Palate: soft, fruity, and rich with loads of chocolate and a touch of spice; Caramilk, more Werther's Originals, Glosset Raisins, and homemade peanut brittle; mushroom-y earthy tones, toasted oak, and soft muddy peat; some leather and tobacco; still fresh, minty, with a touch of Fernet; more orange bitters, baked apple, pear drops, and dried fruits.
Finish: juicy, warming, fresh, and malty with fading sherry tones and subtle peat.
Comment: this is a classic, and it punches well above its weight; it has an old school feel to it, reminiscent of the way 10 year old whiskies drank 20 years ago; Benromach is the OG of the modern single malt industry.
Producer Tasting Note
Aroma: Sweet green apple and pear complement creamy dark honey. Soft vanilla develops alongside gentle smoke.
Palate: Smooth flavours of malted cereal and stewed fruit combine with warm toffee and a hint of black cherry.
Finish: Full bodied finish with malted cereal and soft smoke.
