Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Bright gold; clean and clear with moderate legs
Nose
Clean malt with vanilla, light citrus, and gentle sherry sweetness. No smoke whatsoever — reveals what Benromach spirit tastes like without the signature 12 ppm peat
Palate
Clean, malty, and fruity. Bourbon cask vanilla and sherry sweetness dominate without the usual peat smoke veil. Reveals the underlying fruit and malt character of the Benromach distillery spirit
Finish
Medium finish with clean malt and gentle sweetness. No smoke at all. The ultimate demonstration that Benromach's signature peat — even at just 12 ppm — makes a significant flavour contribution
