Benromach Chateau Cissac Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2009 Vintage
Out of stock
The 2009 distillation vintage of The Chateau Cissac finished Benromach limited release.
Aged in first fill Bourbon casks and finished for 25 months in the illustrious red wine casks from the Haut-Medoc AOC of Bordeaux, France.
Only 4200 bottles released and bottled in 2017.
A masterclass in how to do a cask finish, very much still retaining the Benromach distillery character but adding extra layers of complexity from the red wine casks, superbly balanced and great value for money.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a ruby-tinged mahogany hue.
Nose
Vibrant watermelon and pomegranate open with red apple skin, unfolding into earthy smoke and new leather. Bright blood orange sparks fruit and floral notes—rose petal, kumquat and glace cherry—while smoky ham and griddled pineapple hint at the cask finish.
Palate
Crunchy cranberry and pomegranate meet black peppercorn spice in a dry, earthy body. Leather folds through pink grapefruit, charred orange rind and chocolate bitters as damsons rest in spiced/aromatic stock syrup with a hint of clove and nutmeg. Red wine tannins lace the finish, lifted by a whisper of pink lemonade.
Finish
Peppery watermelon and crunchy wine tannins linger, with cranberry and a wisp of smoke. Notes of honeyed ham, dark chocolate and waxy blood orange mingle with a fresh mint lift and a trace of blackcurrant leaf, leaving a refined, wine-kissed finish.
