BenRiach Sherry Matured 12 Year (Discontinued)

Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

Reviewed January 31, 2023 (edited September 20, 2024)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
Got another bottle of this and HAD to re-review.... This is a true sherry bomb scotch aged completely in sherry casks not just finished. Non chill-filtered with natural color. Poured neat, nose is wonderful strong and heavy sherry influenced fruits. We're talking cranberry, strawberry, apricot and cherry deep and rich with some background of vanilla ,malt and spice. Oily textured palate brings layers of sweet sherry goodness balanced with leather and oak. Dark berries and heavy cream combine with dense malt, nutmeg and crisp smoke to support the worn saddle and museum wood notes. This tastes much older than 12. Finish is superb with palate extension and transition from sweet to dry tannin not even close to bitter. This is a succulent delight punching way above its class. I know this says discontinued but my Twin Liquors is stocked for now. I don't know if the new replacement is as good but Im hedging my bet it is as this distillery has great new make and their other offerings both peated and un are strong........91/100... I will grab a couple bottles of this to stash but eager to try the new version as well

    @Ctrexman Well done finding this at all, let alone at a good price. The last time I tasted it was in 2017 and it cost AUD$110, so in US$ more than you paid for this one! I enjoyed it but did not rate it as highly, and when I tried the new 12 year sherry wood not long ago I gave it the same score of 3 stars but noted that the profile was different.
