One of Benromach's flag ships, the "Organic" expression has gained some popularity in the past years. I don't usually have good experiences with anything organic, and i have had few whiskies made that way and they weren't very good. Benromach means "The Peak" in gaelic, and it was reopened with a special guest in 1998, that guest was Prince Charles.
Bottled at 43%abv, pale straw color.
On the nose, interesting, a little strange and definitively organic. Malted barley, cotton candy, hay. Smells like a farm. Coffee, salty crackers, gas water; feels powdery. It has this strange feeling that resembles a coca cola.
On the palate, it is not great. Honey, red apples, nutty and floral.
Aftertaste is spicy, short and not very appealing. Pepper, ham and chilli. Nothing else.
Overall, i have read some very nice reviews on this one, but for me it was a complete dissapointment. Don't get me wrong, it is not bad nor off-putting, it is just too simple and not very tasty. My score for it is 78 over 100.
