About this bottle

BenRiach has gotten into the habit of naming their peaty whiskies with Latin names. "Fumosus" means "smoky" and though, there really isn't a Latin word for "rum", "Arumaticus" sounds like it would work. Aged initially in American oak barrels, the whisky is then finished in Jamaican rum barrels.
