Benromach 100° Proof

An absolute treat, the nose is more like an older whisky. It has so much going on, the sherry is right up front. Rich vanilla, dark dried fruits but not overbearing. I don't pick up the smoke, maybe after the bottle gets some oxidation. Non chill filter but doesn't say if it's had color added, pretty dark. 57%ABV at 10 years. A winner in my books.

BENROMACH 10YO 100 PROOF 57% - 2nd try - CARAMEL, melted brown sugar, full honey 3 Strong peppery burn, nutty raisins, oiliness, malty 2 Malty, oaky 2.25 2.25

Bit of a leather taste up front that gives way to butterscotch and green apple with that quality peat smoke throughout

Nose is caramel pears vanilla and light smoke, cured meats Palate is gingery peppery and a strong kick the abv takes no prisoners. Rich sherry Finish is medium and leathery with prolonged smoke The new version of this Batch 1 is superb and That’s probably effecting my rating here a little.
