This 21 year old malt is part of Benriach's Wood Finish or Cask Finish range, where whiskies mature in refill American oak casks before spending a finishing period in a more active wine or fortified wine cask. In this case, it has been finished in ex-Tawny Port hogsheads!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Producer's Tasting Note:
Nose: A perfect balance of fresh cranberries and warm white pepper develops to a combination of tart raspberries and boiled candy.
Palate: Delicious toasted oak spices and hints of orange peel develop to a lively contrast of wild red berry compote and sour cherries, followed by a rich stewed barley character.
