Benromach releases vintage cask strength bottlings quite often, even several times a year, to reveal the quintessence of its distillate. This one was produced in 5500 copies.

Let's Taste It : 

Apple-vanilla nose, more specifically green apple and vanilla meringue ice cream. Pumpkin, butternut, yellow pepper. A touch of smoke, very dry hay. The sherry is light, with a few blueberries and prunes, but nothing more. Warm vanilla-spice palate, it's warm, pumpkin purée, lots of white fruits, coarse salt, and a vanilla-wood finish, with an ounce of red fruits, raspberry I'd say. Or maybe gooseberry? Quite a muscular finish given the alcohol content, and quite long. Sage.

 

In Short, 

A very typical expression of the distillery, with that country profile, vanilla and hay, and a touch of sherry. The price is very reasonable, so take advantage of it. 

Score : 88
