On my way to Scotland, for the third whisky trip of my life, i started my journey of single malts as soon as i boarded the plane, since the flight attendant gave me one that i've never tasted before, a Benriach Quarter Cask, doble matured, bottled at 46%abv.
On the nose, it starts with apples, honey, pear and cough syrup. Clean, well delivered notes.
On the palate, this one is pretty honeyed. After a sip, it gave me tobacco leaf, ashes and a bitter burnt grass.
Aftertaste was very nice. Sulphuric beautiful finish; burnt grass, tobacco and hay.
Overall, i believe this is not an expensive single malt, and it is really good. Super enjoyable dram, with a decent abv. A true speysider, my score for it is 85 over 100.

Yay! Have a fantastic time - are you going to any of the whisky festivals? I toyed with going to the Spirit of Speyside this year but everything was booked out months ago.
