Review by The BenRiach

Colour

Bright autumn gold.

Nose

Ripe summer fruit compote with contrasting candied peel and a warming stem ginger background.

Palate

Soft vanilla and cinnamon give way to tangy red fruits and citrus peel. Barley sugars and honeyed malt build into the long, sweet and satisfying finish.

Conclusion

Vanilla, chocolate and red fruits, developing from Benriachs signature sweet barley and fruit-laden style.

Note

Matured for at least twenty-one years in a combination of four types of casks: bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks, Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and red wine casks. The whisky from these four woods has then been expertly blended together by our Master Blender to create a multi-faceted and superbly balanced malt, with each cask type adding unique notes to the taste experience.
