The flagship expression from the Benriach distillery. This 10 year old Speyside single malt is drawn from ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks after at least a decade of slumber, resulting in a malt that shows off the distillery's style wonderfully. Expect hearty barley backed up by orchard fruit and toasted almond, alongside just a hint of herbaceous oak.
Citrus-forward, with gingerbread and cinnamon in support.
Fried banana, brown sugar, powerful barley notes driving it all along.
Lasting hints of peppery malt and vanilla custard.
I have an older bottle with the red lettering on it. Well-oxygenated and rested, this is what might be expected. It is light and has very little cask-influence except to soften the original distillation. Almost undetectable sherry Precious little oak. The bottle mentions first fill casks, but no mention of how long the whisky sat in these casks. Thankfully, the base whisky is nicely-made, but given the lack of Speyside characteristics, I strongly recommend the Bruichladdich Blue Bottle as a more distinctive and tasty alternative. I wouldn’t object to this if I was given it in a friend’s house, but I don’t think I would buy it again.
Not terribly exciting but enjoyable. Sweet in flavour, pretty easy to drink with a light burn at the end. A fine everyday dram.
This fantastic whisky needs 10-15 minutes out of the bottle with 2-3 drops of water to open up. Nose: Strawberry raspberry blueberry buttered toast butterscotch vanilla aged wood. Palate: With water tropical fruit (skittles) coconut butter scotch vanilla Finish: A mild bitterness with vanilla white pepper and maple syrup. For what this Whisky is which is a 10 yr old priced $55-$60 its 5 stars all day.
While not mind blowing, a very pleasant dram indeed, and for the price and age, hard to fault. Sweet nose with syrup sponge and custard or sometimes panettone. Sweet, gentle palate - sultana and pear, wisps of ginger and coconut.
Great value for money, don't expect to be blown away (it's not an expensive whisky). For its price range it stands out as a really good whisky. Very malty, with a touch of pear and lemongrass on the nose. On the palate it's peppery, malty with a touch of vanilla covered fudge. The finish is warm and peppery. A great Bourbon-oak matured whisky (I, for one, can't pick up any notes from the sherry casks)
