Benriach Single Cask #3085 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a coppery glow.

Nose

Opulent, sherry-influenced nose: dark raisin, fig and cherry mingle with orange zest and cocoa. Rich toffee and caramel drift through toasted oak, while spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—stains the air. Hints of vanilla, leather and resin weave in, and a faint smoky tease adds depth to a concentrated, inviting aroma.

Palate

Bold and velvety, the palate unfolds with lush dried fruit such as raisin, fig and plum, complemented by cocoa, almond and toffee. Sherry-influenced warmth carries cinnamon and clove, a kiss of espresso, and subtle leather notes, all wrapped in a thick mouthfeel. A long, warming finish lingers with oak and spice.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish that unfolds slowly with warm sherry sweetness. Dried fig and orange zest mingle with dark chocolate and spice, while velvety oak and a trace of liquorice linger, leaving a radiant, warming echo that persists long after the last sip.
