Benromach 2010 Peat Smoke Sherry

Benromach is a distillery that I encounter often enough and while it's generally solid it's never turned my head before, until now. The Benromach 2010 Peat Smoke Sherry is an outstanding whisky, sweet, smoky, sherried and unbelievably drinkable. This one turned up in a blind tasting and had half the attendees reaching for their phones at the big reveal. There are certainly better whiskies out there, there are absolutely cheaper bottles on offer but if you're looking to try something new, something a little different and something done particularly well then grab a bottle.
