TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Classic Benromach smoke and wood open with zesty citrus, red apples, dark berries, vanilla, honey, papaya, and grassy fruit-infused tea leaf notes — the Château Cissac influence adding a compelling vinous red fruit dimension to the distillery's characteristic profile.
PALATE
Smooth and creamy with a fiery peppery entry — soft peat smoke, apple, cherry, layers of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and honey with sweet lychee, papaya, and rich summer berry flavours from the Bordeaux wine casks weaving through a beautifully layered and balanced whole.
FINISH
Herbal and minty with orange peel, cinnamon spice, wood, and a slowly fading smoke — the sweet lychee and papaya lingering warmly and invitingly to the last.
