Despite its light yellow color, this single malt whiskey (part of BenRiach’s “Wood Finish Series”) spends 15 years in a barrel -- most of it in ex bourbon barrels before being finished in barrels that once contained a dark rum from Jamaica.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma is like walking into a bakery. Lots of toasted marshmallow, vanilla, cake, toffee, and cinnamon. In the mouth, the rum isn't initially noticeable, though there is plenty of Speyside sweetness, albeit on the light side. Think apricots, butterscotch, pineapple, coconut, and wood. Tropical notes get more pronounced toward the finish, with molasses, and raisins. "
