TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Appealing and richly layered — cinnamon and ginger lead with sweet vanilla, red berries, fresh orange zest, Seville orange peel, soft demerara sugar, rich dark chocolate, and a compelling smoky backdrop of earthy peat and extinguished wood fire.
PALATE
Smooth and creamy with a deft interplay of peat smoke and sherry sweetness — cocoa powder, sweet honeycomb, stewed red berries, toasted almonds, Seville orange peel, and subtle cracked black pepper with the high-PPM smoke present throughout but beautifully integrated with the sherry richness.
FINISH
Full and long — Morello cherry, peat smoke, ginger, and a lingering sweetness fading slowly — one of the most satisfying and complex finishes in the Benromach range.
ABV: 46% ABV
