Single cask Van Wees 12y

About

This Single Cask Van Wees is a 12-year-old Speyside Single Malt distinguished by its robust character and elevated cask strength of 59.29% ABV. Benromach, the distillery behind this bottling, is renowned for masterfully balancing traditional malt whisky with subtle smoky undertones. This particular cask offers a complex and intriguing experience for the discerning whisky enthusiast. The nose reveals an impressive aromatic profile with spicy notes of cracked black peppercorns and cinnamon, supported by hints of roasted grain and a whisper of tobacco. On the palate, the whisky's character is notably oily and full-bodied, with peppery spice and warming intensity. The finish is long and sweet, with citrus accents that gradually fade. This is a whisky best enjoyed neat or with just a touch of water to unlock its full complexity.
