A 2009 Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the amazing Benromach distillery, this 2009 edition is Sassicaia Wood finished separating this Benromach from previous bottlings.
This Benromach spends the first portion of its maturation in first-fill bourbon barrels, before being allowed to finish for a further 28 months in casks which previously held Sassicaia wine from Tuscany.
Only a limited release of 7783 bottles of this stunning Benromach are available.
Nose: Full of luscious red berries with warming hints of ginger and cinnamon which are nicely complemented by a subtle sense of smoke.
Palate: An initially peppery palate gives way to a ripe fruit bowl of flavours including strawberries, raspberries and orange zest before milk chocolate drops appear.
Finish: Like the palate with familiar hints of black pepper and charred oak to round this Benromach off!
