I can almost feel the dreadlocks seeping out of the top of my head when I drink this, the dark rum barrel used for creating this whisky has worked wonders both on the nose and the old taste buds.
This doesn't taste like rum as such but has some wonderful sugary, banana, toffee aromas which make me think back to walking along a Carabbean beach as the sun slowly sets behind me.
Wonderful brown sugar and the banoffee pie you get from Pizza Hut on the palate, there is also a hint of cinnamon and maybe even fresh thyme, but I may having West Indian flash backs again.
Oh and you want to know the best thing about this whsiky? The price, all the Benriach range is cheap as chips, if this was from one of the big names you'd be paying well over the £35 you can get this for.

Yep, your description has got my taste buds thinking. With the brown sugar and rum it almost sounds like hints of a Whisky Mojito!?!
