The 10 year old from Gordon and MacPhail's Benromach distillery. This was matured for the first nine years in 4/5 bourbon and 1/5 sherry casks before a year in sherry casks.
Nose:Ā Dry, barley, big on malt and oak. Dry pine, fruity. A tad spirity. Sweet spices after a time and a hint of puckering prune from the sherry cask and maple fudge.
Palate:Ā Barley, slightly herbal, a little fruit, grassy. Big on malt, ground ginger.
Finish:Ā Mouthwateringly bittersweet. Ginger, dry sherry, almost hoppy after a while.
Overall:Ā A great whisky, its maturity belies its 10 years of age and the sherry finish has done wonders.
