Benriach Malting Season (First Edition)
Single Malt — Speyside , Scotland

December 9, 2021 (edited April 7, 2022)
NOSE
Honied fruit, vanilla taffy, Banana Quik, malt and a touch spirity.
Not a whole lot going on here, it comes through super light and airy.
PALATE
Hay-like malt, Banana Quik, honey, dried fruit, nuts and vanilla taffy notes with a touch of spice and wax.
Heavier than the aroma but, again, quite light and airy. I’m just not getting a ton on the delivery and I have to really take my time.
FINISH
Medium -> Banana Quik, vanilla and wax fade to cinnamon-heavy spiced nuts.

@angstrom Could also justbe because it's under-matured whisky. I get banana notes often in young/undermatured ex-bourbon single malts.
Oh no! Is the Brown Forman banana flavor now showing up overseas? I was joking that would happen when they bought Benriach and GlenDronach.
