Taste note

  • Colour:

    Deep amber

  • Nose:

    Spiced and stewed fruits, just a hint of smoke and buttery pastries

  • Palate:

    Fresh and vibrant summer fruits, orange peel, oak spice and creamy milk chocolate.

  • Finish:

    Gentle smoke lingers on the finish alongside a slight tannic note and berry sweetness.

  • Conclusion:

    A 2007 vintage Benromach, released as part of the Wood Finish bottling series. The single malt was aged initially in first-fill bourbon barrels, and was then finished for just under two years in Sassicaia wine casks from Bolgheri in Tuscany, Italy. It was bottled in 2016 at 45% ABV and this expression never fails to impress, full of summer fruit and just a wisp of smoke.
