Benromach

A rather discrete nose, where malt and peat are mixed, before some hay hints appear after aeration. In the palate, a certain lack at power first denies the hopes the nose rose; dominated by malt and after a while light touches of citrus fruit come and bright the feeling up. A very long finish, recalling vanilla. A very pleasant bottle.

The nose reveals mainly malted hints with touches of peat. In the palate, some hints of vanilla mixed to walnut touches on a malty background. The finish, rather long, recalls the bitter taste of unripe walnut, mixed to smoother cereal notes.

A nice nose, with hints of malted barley and a light touch of peat mixed with some acid notes followed by a touch of cocoa. In the palate, it is rather flat and gives a watery impression. No complexity but a pleasant sensation of a well balanced and flawless malt. The finish is relatively short and doesn't leave an unforgettable impression. Nice barley hints however.

A very rich nose, revealing a nice oily peat together with flowers and fruit. Nice complexity where honey notes appear behind a veil of smoke and slightly medicinal notes in the middle of a bunch of flowers. Some pear as well. In the palate, the first impression is a kind of slightly woody bitterness developing quickly on a citrus acidity before coming back on beautiful nutty notes and nice peat hints. Delicious mix of earth and fruit. Very amazing mouth, really refined and very pleasant. The finish is lingering and keeps the memory of both peat and nice fruity hints.

A pleasant mix of peat and smoke combined with some animal hints announce a nice dram.
A beautiful oily peat characterises the palate which is quite pleasant even if not really complex. The high percentage of alcohol does not hinder.
The finish remains very oily and is quite long, prolonging perfectly the nose and mouth impressions.
