Adam

One of the better rum finishes I've had. This is better than the BenRiach 15 sherry finish. B/B+

Chris

N: Oak and lemon cake.
P: Light but mouth coating, the rum spice is the most predominant flavor.
F: More spice, a little hot.

Spice, seasalt and light citrus in the nose and on the palate. Very nice.

Yum rum. The dark rum adds a sweetness to the whiskey that makes for a deliciously different taste than most whiskies.

A pleasant somewhat sweet, sugary nose, and the rum is clearly identifiable. An initial sugary velvet gives way to a warm, candied oak, which then leads to a reasonably long, mellow finish. I found this to be an extremely interesting, well-executed cask-finished scotch.

Rob

Spicy. Tobacco. Complex.

Dave

I also really like this. The rum adds some great leather and spicey wood flavors that are not in the regular BenRiach. The sweet sharp fruitiness is softened a bit by the smokey tobacco notes from the dark rum spices. Really nice and almost a B+.
