Benriach The Original Ten

(WoodWinters BenRiach Online Zoom tasting, 4th November 2020) Nose: Sweet/syrupy, honey, pears, melon, vanilla, orchard fruits a floral hint Palate: Spicy (ginger & cinnamon), fresh and crisp apple, baked goods (pastries), sweet orchard fruits. Finish: A hint of sour, roasted seeds, vanilla, slight sourness at the very end. Uses a range of full maturation in bourbon, virgin American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. Overall, this is a very steady, easy drinking whisky. I was impressed at the tasting how easy it was to recognise a house style at Benriach. All of the core range at the CS are orchard fruit forward, with a well integrated vanilla. I was impressed at the tasting how easy it was to recognise a house style at Benriach.

Very sweet beautiful nose with lots of apple and very faint peat Nice spiced vanilla that lingers , very light smoke that fades quickly. Very bourbon-esque
