BenRiach 15 Year Tawny Port Finish

February 18, 2017 at The Irish Heather Gastropub actually the rare (not listed on this app) 18 year. Only 597 bottles made. We loved it and purchased bottles 136 & 137. $35/dram in house From cask #10300 in a limited run of only 597 bottles, this particular BenRiach offering only available in BC and Alberta absolutely resounds with the influence of port at a hefty strength of 54.2%. Port is a fortified wine made in Portugal where fermentation is stopped preserving natural sugars. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2016, this part of BenRiach’s expansive wood experimentation under master distiller Billy Walker

Nose: cream, caramel, light porto. Taste: Grapes, porto again, cinnamon. Finish: dry, peach and oak.

whoa baby! Big and deep fruit. Big pow at first and finishes lighter but still tasty.
