Benrinnes 15 Year Old Flora and Fauna
The Tasting Notes
A rich nose, chocolate liqueurs - perhaps rum filled, although there is a light sherry-wood note as well. Light smokiness, and a dense floral note. An evocative combination of oold leather, oil, burnt rubber and exhaust fumes.
Richly sweet, full, rum-like, with a centre palate impact. In spite of the sweetness, not cloying.
Dries out slightly in the finish, where there is also a 'catch' which might be taken for peat-smoke. Medium length, leaving a faintly sherried aftertaste.
Details
A rich, sweet and smooth single malt whisky which sees Benrinnes’ fresh, green estery Speyside characteristics subsumed in its dark aromas. This nicely textured single malt is rich and luscious with meaty and savoury characteristics.
Body: Full-bodied, with a very smooth mouthfeel.
