BenRiach Cask Strength (Batch 2), 60.6%

Price: 95 Issue: Summer 2018 Reviewer: Gavin Smith Category: Single Malt Scotch

This includes whisky distilled in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and matured in a mixture of bourbon, oloroso, and virgin oak casks. Honey, apple blossom, ginger, and nutmeg on the nose, which then exhibits damp tweed, and finally, hot butter. Sweet on the full palate, with milk chocolate, honey, ripe peaches, almonds, vanilla, and caramel. Quite long in the finish, with zesty apple notes.
