Detailed Description
A 2005 Benriach single malt, matured in a single rum barrel for 14 years, before being bottled in 2019. A smoky, fruity whisky, it has aromas of sweet peat, smoked meats, apple and vanilla on the nose. The palate offers notes of barbecued pineapple, cedar smoke, pink peppercorns and spicy oak that linger in the finish.
Benriach 2005 14 Year Old Rum Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisk | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Nose is complex yet not overwhelming.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: Smooth & lingering.
