Benromach 10 Year Old 100 Proof 57%
70cl
A big whisky, not just because it is bottled at a gnarly 100 proof (that's 57% in new money). This is smokier than expected with a respectable and warming amount of peat coming through on both the nose and the palate. There are also some good sherry cask notes which add a balancing sweet and fruity touch. We like this one a lot.
