BenRiach 12 Year Old - Sherry

This luscious 12 year old single malt scotch whisky is unconventionally made using three facets of sherry oak maturation: full sherry cask maturation, combined with pedro ximenez and oloroso sherry cask finishing, for unexpected layers of fruit sweetness and toasted oak spice.

Colour: Deep golden-bronze

Nose: Sherry cask maturation at its most fruity and luscious. Baked fruit salad with fig, pear, apricot and glacé cherry in mandarin syrup. Honey glazed flan with crème-caramel and toasted vanilla pod add to the multi-layered sweetness.

Taste: A rich fruit cocktail of honeyed fig, baked pineapple and sultana fuse with chocolate fondant and muscovado sugar, lifted by mandarin cream, ground nutmeg and vanilla.

Finish: Savour nectarine, candied grape and star anise, lingering into the dessert-like sherried finish.
