3.5 stars - Very good; 750 ml bottle
Naughty.
That is the overriding emotion I get while drinking this whisky. Dirty smoke, soy sauce, loamy soil, Welches grape juice, syrup - it is an almost inappropriate range of flavors.
Neck pour was unbelievably enjoyable, middle of the bottle was discordant, and the end was good fun.
I am on the fence if I will repurchase. Talisker Distillers Edition and Glendronach 15 yr play in this same space. I give a slight edge to those whiskies.

@angstrom I believe Ace Spirits still sells some online, although their price seems to have ticked up from $65 to $70. If you happen to live in or travel to SoCal, I’ve seen some of the big stores there (Mission and Hi-Time) sell them, as well.
@fomo I will keep an eye out for that one. I don’t remember seeing the Benro CS on local shelves. I was super excited to acquire a SB 12 CS recently.
@angstrom I highly recommend Benromach’s 10 year CS. It’s a killer deal ($40-60) and vaguely reminiscent of the Springbank 12 year.
