Single Malt
Scotland
12 Aug 1999
A limited edition Benriach, distilled in 1999 and matured in ex-bourbon before enjoying some time being finished in virgin American oak casks. You don't see that happening every day, but it has imparted a floral note or two to this single malt.
Creamy and sweet with home-made vanilla ice-cream.
Toasted oak and light floral notes from the finishing period. Vanilla carries on with burnt sugar and crisp apples.
A drying finish.
Intense and intriguing.
Both myself and my old man love this dram you can taste lovely sweets like you used to get in confectionry shops you know where the tubs of boiled sweets are and that sweet smell that comes from that part of the shop. It has gorgeous pineapple and rasberry custards tones with brittle toffee notes and lemon sherbets, it also has sweet vanilla from cream soda with faint hints of fresh cut grass. This is dram of formidable attitude and appeals to any person with a sweet tooth and is best shared with a family member so you can discuss what sweets are in here from you local sweet shop !. A steal at this price as nostalgia is priceless !!!
