Single Malt- Tasting Notes: 

Nose:An initial big billow of malt, oak, and vanilla show immediate classic scotch characteristics. Those sweet and grassy notes are joined by orchard fruit smells of apple and pear. The sweetness is almost candy floss-like after a few moments, with toffee and caramel notes joining. The notes are rounded out by a grassy/hay smells and a touch of cinnamon.

Taste: Crisp toffee apple flavours arrive early doors. Once it settles in, there is a really good malt profile on display despite its 10 years in cask: Butterscotch and barley sugars really stand out. The whisky’s trio of oak influences that start to slowly build with gentle pepper warmth and cinnamon heat.

Finish:Those casks see things out with oak spices gently simmering away and leaving the sweet vanilla of the oak and apple flavour of the spirit behind.

3 cask matured for at least 10 years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak. A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery.
