Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm copper-amber core and mahogany-tinged edges, a rich, sunset-hued glow suggesting sherry-cask maturation.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven aromas of dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, toffee and almond. Gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts through seasoned oak, while a whisper of leather and dark chocolate adds depth. An inviting, matured sweetness lifts the senses.
Palate
Silky and lightly oily on the palate, this Benriach unfurls a chorus of dried fruit—raisin, fig and dates—balanced by malt sweetness and a whisper of orange zest. Sherry-influenced depth brings cacao, walnut and roasted spice, with a gentle wood-kissed warmth. Finishes long, softly spice-driven, leaving a lingering oak and toffee echo.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with rich sherry sweetness, dark fruit, cocoa and orange zest, balanced by gentle oak. A finale of warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—lingers softly, leaving a refined, lasting glow.
