Some say this is the best finish of Benriach. Maybe there is a reason.
The aroma has a strong wine influence, from the sweetest dark red grapes, chocolate triolade - milk, white (mainly) and slightly dark. In addition, sweet tropical fruits - mango, passionfruit- but they are not fresh, but feel like jam or just pureed with sugar.
The taste is sugary, with a compote of dogwood, sour cherries, a lot of sweetness, complexity and warmth. Very good start! Wow! Then more sugar, brown, light coffee, and sweet dark chocolate. Taste, that's it.
The finish is long, warm, a dense feeling on the palate with fireplace warmth and gingerbread with cherry jam.
