Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and a mahogany edge, a warm, glassy glow that hints at decades in sherry cask—luxuriously rich and inviting.
Nose
Rich, timeworn perfume of dried plum and fig, lacquered with toffee, vanilla and dark chocolate. Sherry-cask depth hints at orange zest and leather, with a faint peat whisper and tobacco. Subtle dried-fruit sweetness, toasted nuts and spice weave a refined, old‑world aroma that promises depth.
Palate
Opulent and velvety on the palate, this 42-year Benromach delivers a sherried depth: prune, fig and orange zest mingle with dark chocolate and coffee. Rich, oily mouthfeel coats the tongue, backed by spicy oak and a whisper of cocoa nib. The finish is long and warming, with nutmeg, clove and a subtle peat lift, leaving lingering sweetness and refined tannins.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with a gentle peat that lingers beside rich sherry sweetness. Dried fruits, dark chocolate and toasted oak unfold slowly, while warm spice and a whisper of leather fade into a refined, enduring warmth.
