BenRiach Maderensis Fumosis (Madeira Wood Finish) 13 year old, 46%

Price: 88 Issue: Summer 2009 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Sounds more like a disease than a whisky. A peated version of BenRiach, with the tarry smoke melding nicely with toffee, bramble, and rhubarb. Lingering earthy smoke on the finish and slightly tannic, with subtle fruit. Good mouthfeel on this one.
