Benromach 10 yo (43%, OB, +/-2021) 
Any excuse is nice, Benromach 10 being one in every of our favorite BFYB whiskies. We drink them sooner than batches change, having stated that… Color: straw. Nostril: fabulous, on white asparagus (we’re in excessive season) and paraffin, then good white Pessac (proper, sauvignon blanc), tangerines and Alka-Seltzer. Then hay and crushed chalk, plaster that is not dried up but, and sea mud. Mouth: wood-smoked chilly cuts, lime, chalk, eucalyptus drops, olives and maybe a tiny cup of spent lees.

Benromach ‘Cara Gold Malt’ (46%, OB, contrasts, 2022)
Aged in new American oak (for the way lengthy?) and distilled from ‘Cara Gold’ malt, which is much less darkish than common malt and which is normally reasonably utilized in breweries. Effectively, that is what I may collect. Color: white wine. Nostril: evidently certainly, the distillate was a tad lighter right here and that consequently, it is reasonably the wooden that is operating the present, with some ginger, juniper, cinnamon and even turmeric. Some nice bready touches within the again, however certainly, this appears to be a lighter Benromach. The An Oa of Benromach? Mouth: no wait, we’re not that removed from the superb 10, this has just a bit extra sweetness, contemporary fruits, additionally extra spices after a minute or two, I might suppose that is the oak. End: reasonably lengthy, smokier and saltier. Grapefruits and seawater. Feedback: the ten would are inclined to outshine this new child a wee bit, however apart from that, it is one other excellent idiosyncratic Benromach.
