Nose
Cough sweets. Mint boiled sweets. Palate
Syrupy without being cloying. Fisherman's Friend. Delicious. Finish
Gently warming. Soothing. Comment
An old-fashioned whisky for an old-fashioned winter's evening. Wins points for being cuddly rather than complex.

Nose
Not too much going on – dumb nose flattens out further when reduced. Palate
Lots of wood influence dominating the whisky. Dried out and lacking passion. Finish
Medium and warming. Comment
As a fan of Benromach, I was surprised at how little character came through and felt that the whisky had been overpowered.
Interested in whisky tasting, why not nose through our Nosing and Tasting booklet online. It is a great guide to get you started with nosing and tasting your whiskies.
