It's the 2009 vintage Sassicaia-wood-finished single malt from the Benromach distillery! This spends the first portion of its maturation in first-fill bourbon barrels, and is then allowed to finish for 28 months casks which previously held Sassicaia wine from Tuscany.
Fresh strawberries and Alpine herbs. A touch of chocolate.
Creamy and sweet with caramel and treacle, joined by another burst of summer berries.
Hints of black pepper and charred oak.
I purchased a bottle of Benromach Sassicaia recently and was not impressed. Price point is approximately $75 Canadian. I had difficulty tasting anything other than smoke. I feel like I have started smoking again after drinking this bottle of Scotch. The taste of berries and Sassicaia are far too delicate to discern over the smoke. Not complex.
Lightness of peat with initial nose gives way to fresh fruits on the palate , amazing especially from an 8yr malt, love it !
