- Nose
- Rich notes of fruit cake, sweet demerara sugar and vanilla, mingling with underlying hints of zingy citrus and dark chocolate, developing with a touch of warm spice. A tiny hint of signature Benromach smoke paired with pepper and citrus, then fruits like strawberries, red apples, red pears, and condensed apricot juice.
- Palate
- Rich and juicy, oily on arrival, with a touch of dryness. Sweetness of stewed raisin and apple wonderfully complemented by dark chocolate. Notes of orange zest, toffee, ginger, and liquorice follow, leading to a hint of smooth creaminess and lingering charred oak. A bit of alcohol up front, with some ginger, citrus, pepper, a touch of peat smoke, and noticeable oak influence (leather and earthy notes).
- Finish
- Medium long with a bite, featuring fruits, light peat smoke, and leather/earthy cask notes in harmony. Long and powerful, with dried and powdered spices lingering, and peat smoke becoming more prominent. Lingering bittersweet oak spices and soft fruity notes.
