In stock
A delightfully sweet and mellow BenRiach from G&M's old Connoisseurs Choice range. This 17 Year Old was bottled in 2014 after maturation n refill Hogsheads. A classic example of a well made Bourbon cask influenced Speysider, oaky, buttery with a prominent toffee and citrus flavour.
The higher ABV of 46, rather than 40% gives a degree of balance to the whisky.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright amber-gold with a honeyed, sunlit warmth and a soft coppery glow.
Nose
Bright and inviting, this nose opens with vanilla and toffee, wrapped in creamy oak. Buttered pastry notes mingle with zesty citrus—orange and lemon—while delicate spice and a whisper of almond linger. A bourbon-influenced sweetness adds warmth and depth to the aroma, suggesting a well-aged, mellow Speyside encounter.
Palate
Silky, creamy on the palate with generous toffee sweetness, vanilla and buttery notes. Citrus zest—orange and lemon—brightens the mid-palate, while bourbon-cask influence adds soft oak spice. At 46% ABV, it stays balanced, finishing warm and long with a citrus fade and subtle toasted oak.
Finish
Long, mellow finish with buttery toffee and vanilla sweetness, a bright citrus lift and subtle oak spice. The Bourbon-cask influence lingers in silky, creamy notes, finished with a warm, balanced glow.
