Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery mahogany undertones and a glossy, wine-stain glow.

Nose

Vanilla wafers mingle with raspberry, red licorice and peppermint on the nose, a bright, inviting aroma with a clean, refreshed sweetness and a hint of cool mint.

Palate

Fresh on the palate with cool eucalyptus and peppermint, the flavours lift into a syrupy strand of melted chocolate and Brazil nuts. A lingering finish brings cocoa, more peppermint and spice, keeping the mouth bright and refreshed long after the last sip.

Finish

Long, lasting finish with cocoa, peppermint and a gentle spice, leaving a cool, minty warmth.

Benriach
(ben-REE-ach) Benriach was founded in 1898 by John Duff beside Longmorn, south of Elgin in Speyside. It opened during the late Victorian whisky boom but was forced to stop distilling in 1900 after the Pattison Crash, leaving the site silent for decades while its floor maltings continued to supply neighbouring Longmorn. Production finally resumed in 1965, bringing Benriach back after one of the longest silent periods in Speyside.
