This is a delicious 1985 vintage, 26 year old Benriach which was distilled from peated malt and finished in a cask which previously held sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry. Very good stuff and at natural cask strength too...
Rich aromas of chocolate malt and hints of wood smoke. Thick sherry, dried fruits and a hint of molasses.
Thick palate entry: rich and intense with a surge of spices and hints of savoury smoke. Black treacle and malt, cinnamon.
Long finish. Golden syrup, dates, mince pies and cool wood smoke.
