Taste note

Nose:
Very rich smoke with fragrant vanilla and light citrus zest. Hints of apples develop accompanied by white chocolate.
-
Palate:
Smooth with toasted oak, honey and sweet ripe fruit. Butterscotch and marshmallow flavours lead to a lemon sherbet all alongside sweet smoke.

Finish:
Mouth-coating sweetness and bonfire embers.

Conclusion:
Loving what Benromach is doing with their peat smoke. It gives us more punch than their normal versions. So if you are into peat, you definitely need this expression by Benromach. The balance between the peat and the bourbon aromas are perfectly done.
