Benromach 15YO 43% 700ml

The 15 year old has a similar maturation regime as the 10 year old expressions (9 years in x Bourbon and x Sherry casks), however the final 'finishing' in x Oloroso Sherry barrels is extended to six years instead of just one. The peat input is very discreet in this bottling. Deep polished copper penny colour. Opening notes hint at baklava followed by honey drizzled weet bix, digestif biscuit plus a fruity overlay that suggests tangerine peel and dates. Concentrated, yet beautifully rounded in the mouth; supple malt entry over a background of purring spices. Mid palate delivers a superb juicy flourish of stewed fruits, citrus peel and trace peat. Dries with peel, ginger bread and short bread enlivening the aftertaste. Fabulous - the mouthfeel is a genuine delight. One of the favourites at our recent tastings.
