Tasting Notes

"More tropical than usual for Benromach, with hints of pineapple for example, as well as orange peel and lemon syrup. Touches of cardboard and pear skin too, and somewhat waxy. On the palate the peat smoke is muted, and there's a whiff of rubber and bitter lemon zest. It lacks the oiliness of regular double distilled Benromach, but is surprisingly waxy. This takes some getting used to, but it offers plenty of adventure."
