This needs water, neat it is not really enjoyable but there is some nice fruit in the mix but you have to like sweet whisky to enjoy this one

Nose: Sweet, icing sugar, leather, tobacco, old furniture, also smell rye but that is impossible. Fruitiness like lemon, orange and peach are arriving too.

Taste: Yes the sweet Benromach peat is lingering and quiet heavy too, very intense because the high alc. %.

Finish: long, tarry, peaty, intense, this is big whisky, big distillate and good casks.

Conclusion: Perfect whisky. It is very similar to the best Bowmore's from 2000-2003.

I have a little problem with the sweet and sour balance.

Nose

Sweet malt and vanilla. A good burning wood fire and gentle peat. Fruity and spicy aromas with some citrus freshness.

Taste

Light creamy but sharp starter. Grapefruit sourness and a subtle peaty smoke. Lots of bourbon wood and a touch of vanilla. Not enough sweetness to catch up with the sourness for me. Unbalanced perhaps but I don't say it's a bad drink.

Finish

Good medium finish with pepper, vanilla, citrus and very little sweetness

A perfectly fine, young Benromach. Not the most easy sipper, but very rewarding nonetheless, and an example of what young Benromach can be like.

Nose

Gentle whispers of peat, with subtle farmy notes and a whiff of tobacco and sal ammoniac. Straw, hay and some ginger too. Now room for fruitier notes, like pineapple and ripe banana, but also sweet malt and vanilla.

Taste

Fairly sweet at first sip, but quite intense and spicy shortly thereafter. Slightly dry. Chili peppers and ginger, but also a wee bit of grapefruit.

Finish

Lingering spices, some oak, and smoke as well.

Not very good IMHO. Tasted a sample on day three of the US Blind Tasting Competition 2017. My guess was a Benriach, 16yo @ 48%-50%. I'm not sure how I got the ABV 10% off.

Nose

Burned dark sugar, peach, seashells, some salt, grapes, figs, some honey, mandarin, nuts, oil, earth, some mint

Taste

Sweet dark sugar, malty peat, some yellow and red fruit, some spices

Finish

Medium long, slightly bitter and slightly drying. Malty
