Benromach Cask Strength Batch #1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2008 Vintage
Out of stock
Another new release from the Benromach distillery, who are, thus far, having a very busy and productive 2019! This is a new batch released ‘Cask Strength’ variant, that has replaced the Benromach 10 year old 100 proof bottling. This first incarnation is 57.9% with the idea being that each batch going forward will be slightly different.
An intense sherried nose with stewed apple, pear and vanilla pod. Ther also a toasted malt present and an underlying herbal edge too. On the palate the fruit element is still very present with raspberry, strawberry and candied peel. Subtle sweet notes of milk chocolate are balanced by delicate smokey pepper. A touch of water adds polish, honey and yellow fruit flavours.
Smokey and rich on the finish with a sweet, salty and smokey character.
