TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Light and delicately aromatic — melted butter, banana, pear skin, honeydew melon, and zesty citrus with whispers of petrichor and a subtle earthy smoke — considerably airier and more fragrant than the standard Benromach house style.
PALATE
Silky and fruity with ripe tropical notes of pineapple, banana, and coconut leading into green apple, stewed apples, peach, malt biscuit, vanilla, and a hint of white pepper — the characteristic Benromach smoke present but softer and less assertive than usual.
FINISH
Medium-bodied with citrus zest, brine, lingering oak, wet pebbles, and a clean ashy smoke fading gracefully — long, light, and elegant throughout.
