Benrinnes 15 Year Flora & Fauna

Nose – Cinnamon, leather, nutmeg, red grapes, oranges, florals. Palate – Raisin cream pies w spice, cocoa powder, slightest smoke, honey, white pepper. Finish – Dry, medium length, balanced, oloroso-esque. Water – N – More fruits and vanilla, marshmallow, more florals. P – Slight mineral, not as good.. F – Short, dry, hazelnuts... I wish the "craft" and artisanship was better from Diageo here, but I say that about all the Flora and Fauna bottles, even the ones I like, like this one....Coloring and chill filtering is so... passe'... The theme to this dram should be musically sweet but spicy... "Lunar Sea" by Camel will work.

Sweet and floral, actually pretty smooth I am just not a fan of speysides
