Tasting Notes

"Rather a bit fresher than its predecessor, the 100 Proof, with notes of pear skins and ripe apple parts. The signature sweet, smokey barbecue aromas are certainly there, accompanied by cherry syrup and whiffs of dried oregano. There's undeniably a bit of sulphur on the palate, but also black pepper and red fruits, followed by earthy, smokey peat. Ripe banana and dark chocolate make an appearance as well. This oozes that signature Benromach DNA."
