Bourbon, sherry and marsala wine cask maturation - that already sounds intriguing. Nose: familiar young BenRiach profile with the wine influence definitely noticeable amongst the familiar peat. Sugared fruits, banana, dried fruit mix, smoother than its younger siblings, later some spices appear most prominent being caraway. Palate: malty sweet, Creme brûlée, cocoa powder, smooth almost oily but also with a noticeable burn, a slightly acidic fruitiness, dark ripe cherries, lots of wood appear later with sherry recognizable. Also ground coffee and maybe some dark chocolate. Finish: medium long, now with sweet almonds, lots of the oak cask influences, coffee remains with dried chili. An interesting bottle, but I think it would really do better with a few more years of maturation. But I’d say the VFP is right on point here.
