    Rare Malts Selection, the name alone says it all. This Benromach from 1978 impresses with its mixture of fruit, sweetness, citrus, wood, nuts and earth tones. Subtle sharpness is a wonderful antithesis, nutty and earthy tones still stick between my lips. Tastes and likes!

Dried grapes and berries play with grapefruit and lemons, hazelnuts fall on dry leaves and soil, green apple and a hint of cold smoke, followed by spices and herbs. At the moment there are dark, smoky wood tones in the foreground ...
    • Finish
      The aftertaste is relatively short, hints of smoke, wood and hazelnuts followed by the rubbing off of dried orange and grapefruit peels. The aftertaste fades away earthy with an intense hazelnut note.
