BenRiach Sauternes Wood Finish 16 year old, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2009 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Lovely golden honey color. Lush and sweet (the Sauternes impact is obvious), with honey-drenched apricot, sultana, and lemon gum drops. Vanilla, candied nuts, and subtle botanicals round out the palate. Decent oak grip on the finish keeps the whisky from being too cloying.
