Benrinnes 2012 14 Year Old Infrequent Flyers Cask #7110
The Tasting Notes
A tingly aroma of toasted oak with mellow fruit notes - gooseberry, kiwi and nectarine.
Good depth here. Interestingly the palate moves in a different direction to the nose. There is a touch of sweet, peppery spice there. The predominant characteristics are ginger snaps, apricots and ever-welcome salted caramel.
