Benromach Origins Batch #3

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 88 Points

This malt was made with Optic barley and matured in first-fill sherry casks. The nose is malty with notes of dry white wine, figs, and hints of ginger and allspice. The taste starts with a touch of tartness, then turns spicy with allspice, ginger, and cinnamon that fade to reveal a dry sweetness. The finish is dry, tart, clean, and lingers well.
