This bottling has a very beautiful, almost beguiling nose, which reminds me of the 15-year-old Drambuie liqueur (heather honey with herbs). Unfortunately, the initial refreshment does not continue in the mouth.
Category | WHISKY |
Brand | BENRIACH |
Country/Region | SCOTLAND |
ABV | 46% |
Nose | Delicate maritime smoke that comes along without the herbal notes so typical of Benriach. A slightly sweet and sour freshness rises from the glass. Honey, lemon, also oranges, pineapple, heather, vanilla, summer lilac blossoms, ripe strawberries and fine oak spice. |
Palate | Very light body. Amazingly dry, spicy and little sweet. The smoke has a slightly musty character and here are the burnt herbs. There are also decent tannins. A touch of honey, red currants, herbal tea, dried pineapple, ash, lemon cake, light oak spice. |
Finish | Medium length finish - tart and bitter (Swedish herbs), burnt herb, ash, grapefruit. |
