Another verticale of official and semi-independent Benromach
Classically Benromach, coastal, taut and lemony, with ashes, peat, wax and chalk; lively, saline, maritime and lemony on the finish.
A remarkably precise and elegant whisky, bursting with nougat, honeysuckle, mandarin and citron, followed by pure citrus and lemon marmalade.
A powerful yet elegant Benromach, with cedarwood, tobacco and honey on the nose, peppery sappy intensity, and a long, spicy, honeyed finish.
Walnut cake, pipe tobacco, bitter orange and plenty of black pepper give this sherry-cask whisky a familiar but pleasantly robust profile.
Fresh walnuts and almonds, light smoke and caramel lead into a peppery, bitter palate with bags of personality.
A very rich yet bright sherry bomb, packed with generous fruit acidity, polished oak, warming spice and roasted nuts.
A heavily peated Jura with mineral smoke, grilled bacon, grapefruit, smoked oysters and a superb saline, peppered-lemon finish—“rather magnificent” and hard to…
A lively, characterful Jura: peppery and mineral, with vanilla, fruit, liquorice and an earthy edge.
A manzanilla finish brings wet stone, green walnuts, seaweed and chalky notes, with lovely saline tension and a long, slightly peaty finish.
So much different than modern Laphroaig. Very fruity.
A very intense, deeply medicinal dram packed with smoked bacon, tar, salty liquorice and charred citrus from nose to finish.
Full of personality, with glorious old-school sherry notes, though an astringent edge adds sourness, leathery dryness and bitter, tannic flavors.
A pleasantly unmodern whisky, balancing mineral austerity with vanilla sweetness, waxy texture, leafy smoke and salted liquorice.
Light, fruity and pleasant, with marshmallows, icing sugar and citrus; tauter and lemony on the palate, though it may be best enjoyed with ice in summer.
That timeless cheesy funk. Really amazing.
