Benromach 2005 (bottled 2015) Hermitage Wood Finish
Initially matured in first fill bourbon casks, Benromach's 2015 Wood Finish release spends its final 27 months in French wine casks from the northern Rhône Hermitage appellation, known for its Syrah grapes. 4,200 bottles have been produced.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Vanilla and wood spice from the bourbon casks blends with rich, fresh fruity notes from the red wine. Vinous, tomato stem, thousand island dressing.
Palate
Interesting citrus notes (clementine, kumquat, star fruit, grapefruit...), redcurrants, some dried herbs.
Finish
Rich and fruity with some chocolate too.
