Benrinnes 17
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: The Maltman
ABV: 43%
Score: 84 Points
This single ex-bourbon cask bottling has an aromatic and spicy nose with baked apples, toasted oak, vanilla, honey, and a hint of coconut. The taste starts off buttery with good spicy touches of cinnamon and vanilla at first. Coconut cream pie and honey notes become apparent as the cinnamon fades, along with a hint of licorice. Buttery touches return going into the finish, along with a lingering and muted touch of cinnamon.
