Benromach distillery exclusive sherry cask 40, 2011-2019 - 6cl

6cl sample

Benromach distillery exclusive, first fill sherry hogshead nr. 40
distilled 2011 - bottled 2019 - 59,1% - one of 299 bottles

The back label states: sweet sherry aromas with hints of milk chocolate.
a creamy edge with orange marmalade, stewed fruits & spice followed by a lingering smoke.

Our own opinion, 88-90 points.  For such a young whisky it is really good, i love the sherry / gentle peat combination.
After tasting a young 1974 Ardbeg at 59% from Samaroli, tasting this reminded me very much of that whisky.
