Benriach Virgin American Oak Limited Release Whisky 19 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

A rich, deep amber that glows with honey-gold and copper-bronze accents.

Nose

Rich vanilla and cream lift from the glass, entangled with toasted Virgin American Oak. Notes of coconut, honeyed toffee and warm spice—cinnamon and clove—drift over citrus zest and almond. A bold, glossy aroma with polished oak depth and a faint sun-warmed sweetness that promises a generous mouthfeel.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with vanilla and crème brûlée from Virgin American Oak, accented by toasted oak and warm spice. Rich dried fruit, caramel and coconut mingle with citrus zest, all enveloped in velvety oiliness. The high ABV coats the mouth with cinnamon and clove, finishing long with dark chocolate and lingering oak.

Finish

Long, warm and elegant, the finish pools vanilla and coconut from Virgin American Oak, with velvety toffee and spice. Toasted oak and a hint of dried fruit drift into a persistent, lightly peppery fade that lingers gracefully.
