A milestone release from Benriach, this is the first core expression comprising spirit produced predominantly since the 2004 takeover by Billy Walker and his consortium. A classic Speyside whisky.
Tasting Notes :
Appearance : Crisp summer gold
Nose: Nutty, rich, damp earth. Almonds and hazelnuts, with appealing green-apple freshness aromas of lemon and grapefruit, lifted by cinnamon, nutmeg and toffee. Lovely and fresh.
Palate: Floral and spicy, with clean, bright fruit: green apples, pears, honeysuckle. There’s some spiciness in there, too – a little black pepper, a hint of clove and a touch of crème brûlée.
Finish: The spiciness hangs on, but the overriding character is fresh, clean fruit. Refreshing and lip-smacking
Land : Scotland
Distillery : Benriach
Alcohol by volume : 40%
