Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: soft, elegant, and chocolatey with bright fruits; nutty with milk chocolate and subtle spices to kick things off; Nutella, Ferrero Roche, and chocolate malt soft serve; citrus fruit spray, Five Alive, and grapefruit.

Palate: the palate is a little more muscular, and sherry forward; elegant, nutty, and chocolatey with decadent spice; more Nutella, Ferrero Roche, and chocolate malt soft-serve; to that we can add some milk chocolate almonds, and dark chocolate blueberries; dried dark fruits add to the dominant citrus tones (Five Alive juice box anyone?); its starts to go a little tropical; a touch dirty (earthy), soft leather and fruity tobacco.

Finish: long, elegant, sherried, and chocolate; the leather, tobacco, and spices build before fading in a delicate finale.

Comment: a lovely old Benromach, mature, and elegant but also harkening back to the lovely 18 and 21-year-old bottlings of Benromach from the mid-2000s; time has taken nothing away from this liquid, rather it has subtly built upon it.

Producer Tasting Note

Aroma: Fragrant cinnamon and ginger spices with Seville orange. Stewed red berries develop with a hint of roasted hazelnut.

Palate: Sweet Morello cherry flavours combine with baked apple and liquorice. Rich dark chocolate notes leading to fruitcake and subtle black pepper.

Finish: Full with forest fruits and mature oak.

92pts Whisky Fun

"Colour: full gold. Nose: a little unusual given that this should be ex-first fill sherry, with rather more butterscotch than expected as well as some cassata and that very insane thing you'll sometimes find in Italy, proper caramel ice-cream, this time covered with blackberry cream or liqueur. Works with guignolet/Heering too. Behind that, pipe tobacco and drier raisins, plus something that really makes me think of certain old armagnacs I've enjoyed so much lately. With water: drier, rather on old teas, including our beloved old pu-ehrs that we keep mentioning. Mouth (neat): grand. Walnuts in all their guises, as cakes, tartes, liqueurs, wines and cordials. With water: some sweetness now, fruitcake, marmalade, baklavas, kumquats (dag!) and, this time again, a tiny Campbeltownian side. Spent engine grease, you know. Finish: long, splendid. Tobacco, marmalade, sweet mustard and walnuts. Oh and 'engine grease' indeed. A classic cocoa – coffee – cigars combo in the aftertaste. Comments: I agree this whisky deserved a longer tasting note, but there, my glass is empty. Another very good sign. SGP:462 - 92 points."
