Benromach 10 Year

Very Good!! I opened this bottle nearly two years ago, enjoyed a couple of drams with friends, put it in the cabinet and somehow forgot about it. Sometimes that happens to an old geezer like me. I rediscovered it today and was so happy to see it. It is as glorious as I remember it to be. Pours a dark amber in the glass and exhibits decent legs. Noses of malt, peat, and dark honey---think buckwheat honey. It has a great mouthfeel, the peat is burning fall leaves, and the honeyed malt lingers in the long finish. There is also a slight salinity in the finish. The flavors are strong and pure--if the bottle was not labeled Speyside, I could be convinced this was a Highland. The peat level is not as heavy as a typical Islay, I would say it is similar to Highland Park 12.

Lesser highland park iodine flavored some flavor of bourbon barrels (includes sherry barrels too)

Really nice to drink with a long and nice taste in mouth
