Benromach Sassicaia Wood Finish 2011 (bottled 2019)

A 2011 vinage Benromach, released as part of the Wood Finish bottling series. The single malt was aged initially in first-fill bourbon barrels, and was then finished for just under two years in Sassicaia wine casks from Bolgheri in Tuscany, Italy. It was bottled in 2019 at 45% ABV and this expression never fails to impress, full of summer fruit and just a wisp of smoke.
