-------------------------------------------------------------------
Benromach今年新出並列入Core range既21YO, 除左用新design外, 亦重本用上1st fill Bourbon 同1st fill Sherry桶熟成。

Benromach 經歷幾次執笠重建, 最後1993年被G&M收購, 希望可以做返佢地認為既傳統Speyside風味 - 重視果味之外亦帶輕煙燻泥煤。
呢支21年除左受Oloroso同Bourbon桶外, 同時不失Benromach本身想帶出的輕煙燻泥煤, 即使係43% ABV下, 依然表現到相當唔錯既複雜度

P.S. 對Benromach 有興可以去佢官網睇下佢地既生產簡介, 有process既介紹同短片

Master of Malt品評供參考

Nose:
Deep Oloroso sherry comes through, with stewed plums, raspberry jam and juicy sultanas initially followed by hints of Pinot Noir, orange peel and dried apricots. Vanilla, toasted brown sugar, milk chocolate and aromatic ginger spice appear underneath with sweet peat warmth throughout.

Palate:
Notes of stewed orchard fruit, chocolate-covered raisins and Seville orange marmalade are followed by hints of set honey, praline, red berries and gingerbread. In the backdrop, there’s cracked black pepper, tangy oak and smoke from a smouldering bonfire.

Finish:
Sherry tones lead the finish, with a hint of buttery toffee apples, oak spice and fruitcake.
