Another indie bottling from Murray McDavid's ace Benchmark range, this Balmenach 8 Year Old was aged in a first fill bourbon barrel and finished in a first-fill Koval Bourbon cask. Maturation began in 2008, before this single malt Scotch whisky was bottled 8 years later at 46% ABV with natural colour and no chill-filtration.
There's aromas of thyme honey, mixed peels, plenty of oak and cereal sweetness.
With citrus blossom there's cut grass, dry barley, milk chocolate and a hint of roasted coffee bean.
On the finish there's slightly tart mango, dried cedar and sugared almonds.
