Whisky Tasting Benromach 10yo

Kapaneus

My first tasting notes in this forum and one of my favorite "bang for your buck" Whiskys:


Category: Scotch Single Malt
Distillery: Benromach
Region: Speyside
Age: 10 years old
Strength: 43%
chill filtered, no colouring
80% ex-bourbon, 20% ex-sherry casks

Notes:

The nose:
mineral smokiness, some spices, some grass, light sweetness, some alcohol, cedar wood

The taste:
sweet spices, light smoke, some waxes, ginger, powerful for 43%, a slight oaky bitterness

The finish:
pretty long, salty, smoky, good mixture of dry- and sweetness
