Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Garden mint. Marijuana. Incense. Joss sticks.
- Palate
- Creamy and oily. Peppermint.
- Finish
- Tobacco. Faint peat smoke.
- Comment
- I have always found Benromach assertively flowery, herbal, almost cedary. Will this highly distinctive character prevail in the new, smaller, stills introduced since the change of ownership? Tastings on a recent visit suggest that it might.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- At once flowery and fruity. Marmalade and very sweet vanilla.
- Palate
- Excellent bittersweet kick-off, complex and tangled but settling for a medium sweet wine gum fruitiness.
- Finish
- Lots of vanilla intermingling with gentlest arrival of smoke. Rather thin at the death, though.
- Comment
- Something of a delicate flower, lacks a certain 'oomph' to rant it amongst the greats.
