BenRiach 25

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 50%

Score: 94 Points

A 50-50 mix of bourbon and sherry casks gives this malt a very complex nose with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, honey, and cherries. The taste is thick and chewy, with a slow buildup of cinnamon, honey and toffee notes underneath, and hints of orange peel and brandy to round things out. The finish is slightly tart, smooth, and slow to fade with hints of allspice and honey.
