Benriach Cask Strength Batch 1 57.2 % ABV

[Quaich1]

Color: Amber

Nose: Dried apricots erupt on the olfactory sense with marzipan and potpourri explosion. Passion fruit and berry melange with black cherries and blood orange peel entice. Caramel fudge takes a bow along with Lowney's cherry blossom candy.

Taste: Maple syrup and French toast come to the fore with cognac essences culminating in palate intensity. Walnuts are the stars of a nutty platter.

Finish: Long, vanilla bean ice cream and butterscotch swirl.

Comments: A delightful cask strength dram which soars in satisfaction and hosts a fruity profile.

Score: 94

Thanks for you thoughts on this Murray, I agree, a very enjoyable cask strength whisky. Coincidentally Benriach have just launched a Benriach Peated Cask Strength to slit alongside this in the range which is also very good, I reviewed it here: http://www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/benriachpeatedcaskstrengthbatch1.htm
