Benriach 21 Years
Fantastic Speyside single malt from the Benriach Distillery, matured for 21 years in a rather intriguing combination of casks – bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks, and Bordeaux red wine casks, to be specific. Oodles of fruity notes, blending brilliantly with warming oak and fragrant wafts of smoke – an exceptional whisky from Dr. Rachel Barrie and her team.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Buttered hot cross buns, old oak furniture, toasty peat, sherried peels, pecans.
Palate: Raisins, sultanas, nutty brown bread, smoky cedar with subtle sweetness to it, dark chocolate lingering later on.
Finish: A slow build of peppercorn and clove on the finish, balanced by dried cherry and almond.
