Conclusion: Balanced. Ridiculously so.
She is spicy and velvety creamy at the same time. If you are looking for an example of an affordable whisky that does not have the raw and young feel as so many whiskies have - you have found her. One to keep in your whisky cabinet, as so many of the Benromachs turn out to be. It is time to put this distillery in the spotlight.
