This is a 10 year old OB release from Benromach. It was matured for nine years in 4/5 bourbon and 1/5 sherry casks before an additional year in sherry casks. I had this blind so keep that in mind reading my notes.
ABV: 43%
Nose: Smoke Meats, Pepper, Honey, Briney, Light Smoke, Peat, funk
Palate: Medium Oily mouthfeel, Sweet BBQ Esque Peat, smoke, brine, peppery, vanilla, funk
Finish: Medium length, vanilla sweetness, peat, brine, smoke, funky
Rating: 6/10
Guess: This is tasty and good. I will guess this as an 9-12 year old springbank, ex-bourbon barrel, 47-52% abv. Let me have it!
Reveal: Benromach 10 Year
