Tasting Notes
air Nose
farmy, very farmy. Farmy peat, if your prefer… Wet hay, manure, dog’s place… Not much else I think. Kind of an anti-Islayer super smokiness at first nosing, mixed with bananas and vanilla pod. Very ripe mangos. Goes on with quite some wax polish, sandalwood, strawberry jam, hints of allspices… Lots of nougat as well. Truly beautiful and something that reminds me of old Clynelish. Really lush
restaurant Palate
pearish and peaty of course but again, rather simple. Pepper… Hints of Provence herbs (thyme and rosemary) but also something slightly acrid. I’m sorry but I like most other versions of the ‘new’ BenRiach much, much better. Now, this will please people who seek variation in their peat. 75 points (unchanged) Benriach 37 yo 1968/2006 (52%, OB, Hogshead #2712, 157 bottles) No peat version oh yes, immensely fruity like a blend of old 1968 Bowmore, 1972 Clynelish and 1966 Lochside. Well, you see what I mean. Hints of varnish. something nicely green and also a little salt. Gets very spicy, with a great oakiness (ginger, white pepper). Marzipan, liquorice… Extremely rich, almost fat, and the finish, is long, gingery and peppery (white), getting back to bananas. Slightly drying at the end but just excellent and not tired in any way despite the 37 years. 91 points . Benriach 21 yo 1984/2006 (55%, OB, Oloroso Sherry cask #2712, 658 bottles) A peaty version
