I reopened this Parafilm sealed bottle for the Christmas season and my god is this a fantastic whisky. I am a fan of BenRiach and this one for sure is amongst my favorites. I maintain my 4.25 rating from about a year ago when I last had it (and I rarely ever give ratings above 4) but it is just so delicious. This is dark ripe grape sweetness with a delicious spiciness along buttery vanilla cream, a lot of port soaked dark old wood and a lovely vibrant fruity dryness which gives it a crisp and bright side as well. But the silky texture just make this dangerously drinkable yet it has an insane complexity, richness and depth with that exiting young crispness as well. So sad this isn’t available anymore and hard to get on the secondary market. This would be a stable on my top shelf for sure if I just could get another bottle.
