BenRiach 10 Year

Light peat. Earthy. Light amber. Smoke. Light band aid.

Nez: Sherry, fruit sec. Semble doux au nez. Bouche: effectivement doux et fruité. des fruits rouges. C'est vraiment comme le Glendronach 12 sans les épices et avec 3% de moins. Peu complexe. Finale: Courte. Overall: C'est bon en bouche mais pas de wow ici. Un bon petit scotch sur le sherry qui se trouve à quelque part entre le Macallan Amber et le Glendronach 12. Content d'y avoir gouté. C'est un scotch de soirée tranquille. 71%

fruity, nose of cranberry. no linger

A tad too sweet and sort of lacks identity or at least distinct traits. I am left with the overall impression of a lemon poppyseed muffin. Good but not usually what I want in a whiskey. Price is ok for a 10 year but I wouldn’t say it’s great value.

Nose: Lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla, creamy frosting. Palate: Brown sugar, caramel, cream Finish: Fried bananas, vanilla, pepper, coffee Lemon cupcakes on the nose and a bit like a overly sweet caramel coffee milkshake on the taste and finish.

Along the lines of a Macallan 12 but not as nuanced or smooth. Got a 96 rating at Wine Enthusiast...don't know why. Solid enough, a bit high priced for 10yo but if you're going to savor a scotch, it might as well be more top shelf.
