Released in vintage batches, this peated Speysider from Benromach is matured in a host of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks before it's bottled up at cask strength. A dash of water won't hurt when exploring its divine layers of zesty sherried fruit, rich chocolate, and delicate smoke. A tremendously satisfying sipper – the brilliance of Benromach strikes again!
Burnt cinnamon biscuits, stewed stone fruits, rich oak, cacao.
Zesty notes of flamed orange and sweet cooked apples are backed by sweet peat while warming nutmeg and pepper nestle beneath.
Smoked liquorice, dark chocolate, plum crumble, oak char, and peppercorn heat.

Benromach have made a very interesting whisky here. It's not for everyone as it has its own industrial funk, especially after giving it a little bit of water. This is now my go to and at £60 is crazy value for a cask strength 10 Year old whisky. I can only hope it stays off the radar so that I can stock up.
This is one of the finest whiskies I've ever had, and I've had a few! Smokey, but not overpowering, rich, sherryish, viscous and at cask strength simply superb
This is a cracker of a single malt. Rich Sherry with plenty of smoke and excellent mouth feel. Takes a good drop of water and of consistent quality as of 2009 is equal to the 2008 batch, if not better. Natural colour and until chillfiltered, add water and leave for 15 minutes and you’ll not be disappointed.
Wow wow wow! Benromach, I am impressed. Buy if you can before it all disappears!
Got this in G& M Elgin.A bit pricey for 10 yr old,even though it is 57.9% abv.Long lingering flavours,that take time to get used to,so not a beginners dram.Did not exceed my expectations I'm afraid.
