This is the entry-level whisky from the Benromach distillery. Its owner, the trading company Gordon & McPhail, is seeking to recreate the whiskies as they were produced in the 1960s.

Let's Taste It: 

Leather, cherry and caramel, the three distinctive characteristics of sherry. It jumps out at the nose, so to speak. Waxy leather that smells like new, crunchy red cherry, caramel straight from the pan, a tad bitter. Then there's light, ashy peat, varnished wood and something like white fruit, a hint of orange. Vanilla and milk. Fruity and spicy on the palate, more on the muscat grape, sour apple and a touch of milk chocolate. The caramel becomes more present on the finish, which takes on a certain fullness. Dried fruits and pomegranate seeds. Charcoal.

In Short, 

An example of elegance and distinction. A fine balance of bourbon, peat and sherry. A classic at a very decent price.. 

Score : 85
