Tastes

N: Dark chocolate and bitter nuts. With the addition of water, more of it comes out. T: Nuts, ripe yellow apples, peaches and apricots. F: Medium finish, satisfactory for the brand. With nuts, but mostly a sweet taste of ripe apricots. Light sensation of salt.

N: Orchard - peaches, nectarines, very sweet fruits. T: Fruits become a bit more balanced, less sweet, more grassy, ​​and even more salty. F: Short to medium finish with hints of oak, vanilla, nuts and dried sweet fruits.

N: Needs to be opened with water, otherwise it doesn't express much. Typically light with orchard fruits and soft vanilla. T: Sweetish but with a slight salty character, strange for Speyside. Typical Glen Grant from then on - light, fresh taste, orchard fruits. F: Relatively long for the brand, due to the degree. Salty feel with fruit influence, nuts and light berries.

N: Stone fruit, Brazil nut, light caramel sweetness, stronger sherry influence with ripe berries, candied dried fruits T: Complex taste with nuts, Creme brulee, pleasant Apricots and exotic fruits, candied apples F: Short finish with pressed nut butter. Enjoyed the complex taste, although the short finish is something which must be worked on.

N: Lemon grass, green apples, dominated malty feeling, a touch of vanilla. T: Sweet vanilla, yellow apples, good everyday taste. F: Short finish with yellow ripe apples, a touch of honey. I would say it is not a whisky that I would drink neat. Maybe with friends, ice, mixing, etc.

On the nose, it did not reveal itself at all without water. You could feel the sherry, but it seemed to be firmly anchored below the degree. After 5 drops of water, the typical style of the distillery was already revealed, associated with oily nuts, sweet berries, dried fruits candied with brown sugar. The taste is honey, peaches, apricots, finer brown sugar, fruits, and a slight spiciness in the sweet range. A typical representative of the distillery with an oily, sweet sponge. However, I would not allocate such money for a bottle.

Some say this is the best finish of Benriach. Maybe there is a reason. The aroma has a strong wine influence, from the sweetest dark red grapes, chocolate triolade - milk, white (mainly) and slightly dark. In addition, sweet tropical fruits - mango, passionfruit- but they are not fresh, but feel like jam or just pureed with sugar. The taste is sugary, with a compote of dogwood, sour cherries, a lot of sweetness, complexity and warmth. Very good start! Wow! Then more sugar, brown, light coffee, and sweet dark chocolate. Taste, that's it. The finish is long, warm, a dense feeling on the palate with fireplace warmth and gingerbread with cherry jam.

A delightful color, a pleasure to look at. Very rich aroma of caramel, toffee, dark chocolate with orange, vanilla cookies and fruit. The taste adds a very oily, very warm character with pleasant spicy spices, moving to vanilla ice cream with caramel glaze. The finish is very long and warm, honey, caramel, with toffee and most of all, jam from ripe plums.

Very, very fruity blend. Garden, orchard fruits dominate - apricots, pears and apples. They all feel very sweet, perfectly ripe, but also wrapped in honey for more sweetness. On the palate, this whisky is a sugary fruit dessert with cool notes of garden-hued pepper. Again, a strong fruit influence, but here in the exotic range - mango and passionfruit. The finish is hesitantly warming, strongly honeyed.

Very tasty demerara sugar, sweet sherry, caramel and toffee candies, olive paste, strawberry jam and subtle orange notes - and this is just for kickback, as if to say "hello". This is an aroma that captivates from the beginning. The taste is a very aromatic jam of cherries and raspberries, covered with the most beautiful sugar, crème brûlée. The finish is long, warm with an aroma of sweet, otherwise fresh fruits and coffee with milk and cinnamon. Definitely very much my style of whisky.
