Benromach Lat 53 o Single Cask 2nd Release Whisky 1999 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones, a warm, sunset glow.

Nose

Peat smoke layers over warm, malty grain with a guarded, refined intensity. Sherry influence blooms, releasing dried fig and raisin, orange zest, and red-berry hints, mingled with dark chocolate and toffee. Vanilla and toasted oak add richness, while a leather and spice nuance and a faint maritime breeze complete the profile.

Palate

Powerful and luxurious on the palate, this Lat 53 Single Cask coats the mouth with bold peat smoke intertwined with ripe sherry sweetness. Dried cherries and toffee meld with orange zest, cacao, and a whisper of leather, all carried by a full, velvety body. Spicy oak and subtle coastal salt lift the finish, leaving a long, warming trail of peat, fruit, and spice.

Finish

Long, elegant finish where peat smoke lingers beside rich sherry sweetness. Dark fruit and cocoa unfold over toasted oak, with subtle spice and a kiss of citrus. The warmth remains, tapering to a refined ember until a final, drying whisper fades slowly.
