Benromach Sassicaia Wood Finish Single Malt. Speyside, Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 45.00%. Tasted at Bar Lafayette, $17.
Colour: Golden caramel.
Nose: Quite light, a bit oaky, maybe some plums? Hard to tell.
Palate: Hints of cinnamon, bit of spice. Not a lot of depth though.
Finish: Quite short, front of the tongue.
Comments: Mellows the more you leave it. Maybe could have done with some more time in the barrel to develop some more flavours, only 7 years in total, the last 29 months of that in ex-Sassicaia wine casks.
