Description

Gordon & MacPhail have experienced such success with Benromach since they took over the practically derelict distillery in 1993. Benromach Origins is a series of special bottlings crafted to highlight how small changes in the art of whisky making can help shape the character of the final single malt. This Batch 5 was distilled in 2005 using the much revered "Golden Promise" barley and bottled in 2013.

Lemon and green apple flavours with a subtle smokiness, sweet vanilla notes with sultanas and toasted malt, creamy apple crumble, linseed oil, beeswax, and old parchment.

Smoky and spicy with cigar ash and chilli, peach and red apple flavours, orchid fruits, damp grass, wood smoke, weighty, concentrated, nutty, oily with a creamy texture, surging spices, tingly mouthfeel, dark fruit, salmiac liquorice powder, a hint of peat, buttery, peppery, candy sweetness.
Finish
Smoky barley lingers, waxy, peppery, long and nicely poised with a late whisper of lingering peat.
