Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a rather powerful, very grainy and malty start with hints of violets and other flowers. Gets then rather mashy and yeasty (porridge), yoghurty before a few fruity notes emerge (apples, hints of pears, green bananas). Something slightly metallic in the background and a faint soapiness but the whole isn’t unpleasant. Strange notes of smoked fish after a while
restaurant Palate
well, things are getting slightly worse now, I’m afraid. The attack is very cardboardy, weirdly orangey (rotting oranges), wrongly medicinal (aspirin)… Gets then quite malty and, again, mashy (stale beer). Well it’s frankly dirty I’d say, and the finish isn’t any better, getting even bitter and oddly salty. What’s sure is that the general level of Signatory’s core range improved dramatically during the last years! 68 points for this one. Benromach ‘Organic’ (43%, OB, 2006) A young whisky matured in new American oak – let’s hope that the later won’t overwhelm its ‘organicness’ ;-) but it’s true that the use of new oak ensures that the end product is 100% organic
