Benromach Origins Golden Promise Barley Batch 5 Whisky 8 Year Old · 2005 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery flashes and a warm mahogany glow.

Nose

Gentle peat smoke backs a rich sherry sweetness, opening to dried fig and raisin, with citrus zest and hints of red fruit. Dark chocolate, toffee and vanilla weave through warm oak and spice, while a whisper of almond adds a final polish to the velvety aroma.

Palate

Silky on the palate, this full-bodied malt pours with sherry sweetness and depth. Dried fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and malty caramel, while a whisper of peat lends subtle smoke. Vanilla bean and baking spice weave through the velvety texture, finishing with a warm, cacao-tinged echo and a touch of oak.

Finish

Elegant, medium-length finish with warm Sherry cask sweetness and a whisper of peat. Dark fruit, cocoa and toasted oak mingle with almond and vanilla, slowly fading into spice as a gentle ember of smoke lingers.
