Benromach Sassicaia Wood Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 5 Year Old · 2001 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm honey-gold core.

Nose

Red berry and cassis perfume the nose, layered with vanilla, toffee, and cedar from the oak. The Sassicaia finish adds wine-dark depth—black cherry, plum, and a whisper of tobacco—backed by a discreet ember of smoke that lingers in the aroma.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied palate of red-berry fruit—raspberry and blackcurrant—woven with warm oak, vanilla and a hint of smoke. The Sassicaia finish adds wine-spice and soft tannins, with a cacao echo, leaving a long, refined, gently creamy finish.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish ripples with red fruit, cocoa and vanilla, lifted by subtle wine tannins from the Sassicaia wood. A gentle spice coats the palate as warm oak and a whisper of dark chocolate linger, leaving a refined, wine-kissed finale.
