Benriach Smoke Season (Second Edition)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

NOSE
Smoked and candied banana a’la Bananas Foster, graham, marshmallow, slightly nutty.
Peaty banana… that’s the majority of what I’m getting on this.
PALATE
Smoked banana, caramel, hay, cinnamon, vanilla, almonds, Honey Nut Cheerios and a slight waxiness.
Palate is more complex than the nose and brings up some warmer earthier notes. Adding water brings up some light minerally-spirity notes, but it doesn’t come across as raw.
FINISH
Long -> Peat, Honey Nut Cheerios, banana, and malt.
