Benromach used to release vintage expressions for their "peat smoke" bottlings. I have had the 2006 one, and that was pretty interesting, so i was eager to try this 2008 one. Bottled at 46%abv, pale straw color. On the nose it is peaty and herbal. Plastic, mint, herbal and cotton candy. It has this impressive coffee bean aroma. Iodine. Very nice. On the palate it is good, but way too simple. Coffee, bitter dark chocolate and toffee. Aftertaste has a standard peaty profile. Peppery, earthy, metallic. Overall, this dram was nice, but nothing to die for. It felt simple and maybe a little boring; the 2006 expression was way better. My score for it is an 83 over 100.
