Tasting Notes

Nose

Strong notes of wet foliage, honey, peach or apricot seed, and sweet lemon drop. BBQ and sweet corn, charred bits of peat.

The whisky enjoys notes of dandelion, oatmeal, and vanilla bean, with a hint of citrus and a short finish. Final Thoughts: This is a very pleasant sip. I would love to offer friends who aren’t naturally drawn to Scotch whisky as an example of the myriad options of the classic spirit. I enjoy witnessing the innovation being explored by Benriach and Master Distiller Barrie.
