Benromach Peat Smoke 2008 | 46% 700ml

Established in 1898 the distillery experienced many closures and changes of ownership prior to 1993 when malt whisky specialists, Gordon & MacPhail rescued it. After being extensively re-equipped, Benromach was officially re-opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in 1998.Matured in first fill bourbon barrels and made with heavily peated barley, Benromach Peat smoke is far more intense than the subtle smoke of their 10 year old.===Tasting NotesNose – Sweet vanilla with honey and cured meat aromas.
