Nose: Ohhh. What a sweet sweet entry. With loads of sweetness: sugar, vanilla , fresh young oak , bourbon style. Then gets more fruity as in dried sultanas , black currant, raisins, spices. A whiff of smoke amidst all this fruity sweetness. Strawberry yogurt. with dried fig jam. With some leather. Palate: Starts fruity with the raisin and berries, than gets sweeter with a lot of sugary sherry sort of thing, wine, cinnamon , coconut. A wild mix of ex bourbon and ex sherry. Nice! Finish : Sultanas, then getting drier, a bit salty at the end.

A great combo of bourbon and ex sherry. Interesting stuff. Unusual Benriach for sure. But brilliantly so.Glad I bought a bottle. Great work lads!

Lovely stuff, and not many are up for grabs (I hear they are selling well, and I know a lot of friends who did get theirs), so be quick!
