Benriach 7 Year Old 2011 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)
Here we have a single cask single malt from Benriach in Speyside, independently bottled by none other than Master of Malt (that's right, it's us!). Interestingly, this is a peated expression from Benriach, so if like your smoky single malts, this ought to be one to keep your eye on. It was distilled in April 2011 and left to mature in a bourbon cask for 7 years before being bottled in May 2018 at cask strength - a hearty 64.2% ABV.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet malt, fudge, honey and wafts of earthy smoke.
Palate
Ripe apricot and nectarine notes are juxtaposed by hot cinnamon, white pepper and roasted oak.
Finish
The smoke gives way on the finish, making room for chocolatey richness.
