Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
nice and quite powerful, with lots of Havana tobacco and some sweet honeyed notes. Gets quite phenolic and peppery. Hints of turpentine
restaurant Palate
quite creamy and nutty. Whiffs of peat and pepper. Develops on dried fruits, orange zest and caramel, with a little vanilla. Rather long and spicy finish, with a good balance. A good, solid malt, maybe the best Imperial I ever had. I guess the 45% make most of the difference! 85 points . September 15, 2004 MALTS - TWO PEATED BENRIACHS BY SIGNATORY - yes, peated. Benriach 28 yo 1975/2004 (57.1%, Signatory Cask Strength, hogshead #7216, 234 bottles) Bottled last week! Here’s Signatory Vintage’s new ‘Cask Strength’ bottle, the former dumpy having been discontinued. This Benriach comes from the peated runs Seagram was doing in the past for blending purpose. You’ll read more about this topic in my E-pistle about WhiskyLive Paris to be published on maltmaniacs.com shortly. Let’s taste this one now…
