Tasting notes for Benromach Origins - Batch No. 2 and Batch No. 3

Description

At Benromach Distillery we believe that crafting single malt whisky can be likened to making a jigsaw - each piece of the whisky making process plays and important part in the overall picture. Benromach Origins is a series of special bottlings crafted to highlight how small changes in the art of whisky making can help shape the character of the final single malt.

Benromach Origins - Batch No.2 Port Pipes

Distilled in 1999 (bottled in 2010), this single malt whisky has been fully matured in Port Pipes. This is the first Benromach expression to be fully matured in a wine cask, allowing the characteristics of the port to infuse with the whisky. The resultant single malt has red berry fruitiness with hints of orange peel, dark chocolate and soft smoke.
