It takes some getting used to. At least it did for me, as I'm so fond of and familiar with Benromach's regular flavour profile. But after I did I could appreciate what they did here, as long as they also keep distilling that great Benromach 10 Years Old.

This is more tropical than I'm used to from Benromach. Hints of pineapple for example, as well as some orange peel and lemon syrup. There's some pear skin too, but also a whisper of cardboard and mint. The Benromach smoke is still there, but very much muted. Somewhat waxy.
-
Soft peat smoke, a touch of rubber (not very enticing), as well as cardboard and bitter lemon zest. Lacks the oiliness of regular double distilled Benromach, but is surprisingly waxy. Quite active spicy notes, mostly chili pepper.
-
Lingering waxiness and fruitiness.
