Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
how very interesting, especially after the Rioja. We’re on a whole basket of fresh fruits here, first everything from a western garden or orchard (apples, peaches…) and only then some tropical fruits such as mangos and pineapples, while it’s rather the opposite in 1970s distillations such as the rightly famous 1976s. It’s all fresh and fruity but not without depth. I’m very curious about the palate but first, let’s add a few drops of water: as often, we have a little mint and even camphor coming through – just a little. Also a little moss and fern. It’s all very fresh
restaurant Palate
exactly in line with the nose. Many garden fruits and a few tropical fruits coated (more bananas than in the nose) with a little almond oil and maybe hints of beeswax. Nakedly 1980s Benriach, which can’t be a bad thing – especially this wee Irishness that I sometimes find in Benriach. With water: perfectly fruity, fresh, clean, refreshing
timer Finish
long, rather zestier, with the citrusy fruits more to the front. Aftertaste on lemon marmalade
