Benriach Limited Release Whisky 18 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with warm honey tones and subtle copper highlights.

Nose

An opulent bouquet of vanilla and honeyed oak surrounds sun-warmed pear and apple, with subtle toffee and caramel. Gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—and a touch of orange zest lift the aroma, all wrapped in bourbon-aged oak and the restrained richness of this classic Speyside style.

Palate

Opulent vanilla and crème caramel flood the palate, mingling with orchard fruit and a hint of citrus zest. Full-bodied and creamy, it delivers toasted almond, honey and warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—underpinned by supple oak. The finish is long and elegant, with dried apricot and a whisper of white pepper lingering.

Finish

Long, velvety finish with creamy vanilla, caramel and toasted oak. A subtle spice threads through the palate as orchard fruit and honey linger, fading to a warm, refined fade that carries the bourbon-cask sweetness well beyond the last sip.
