I see Benriach as a Glendronach smaller brother. It doesn't have the level of "'dronach" but definitively is better than the youngest brother, Glenglassaugh. If you don't know what i am talking about, this three distilleries belong to the same owner. Having said that, in my scottish trip i found a great offering: a 2009 Benriach, a peated single malt, matured in a port pipe, drawn from a single cask #4835, and bottled at 59.7%abv. Pretty interesting stuff. Aged for 12 years old. On the nose, it is incredibly complex. Coffee and cigarrettes. Peaches and red fruits. A honey note so fine that it feels like it has crystalized. Ashtray, Peach halves. There are maritime hints somewhere. On the palate, it is so powerfully sweet that can be cloying. Peaches, thick honey, and cough syrup. A little sulphuric, Peach syrup and a sugar overload. Aftertaste is out of this planet. Starts with cigarrettes, then it turns into an ashtray. Bonfire, it is like a log on fire that smokes your whole palate in a very beautiful way. Perfection. Overall, this is such an amazing whisky, that is limited to 753 bottles, but is definitively a worthy search, because if you are able to find one of this "juices", you are going to have a great time. My score for this beauty is 92 over 100.
