BenRiach 1995 Single Cask #7165

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 52.3%

Score: 90 Points

This malt was aged in a Pedro Ximinez sherry cask, and the nose is warm and spicy with caramel, baked apples and peaches, toasted oak, and a hint of figs. The taste is thick and spicy with intense, lingering cinnamon on top and figs and honey underneath. The finish is long, spicy, and very smooth.
