William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Dry and a little floral, sweet toasted
vanilla oak, burnt raisin and dark
chocolate.
Taste:
A sweet dark berry fruity delivery comes
with a lovely bitter dark chocolate edge
keeping it in check, a little honeyed
tannin and some gentle pepper
Finish:
The sweet fruits continues into the
finish before finally bittering out to
leave some slightly drying lingering
pepper dusted oak.
Comment:
As fans of the
BenRiach will know by now, the
distillery does like to offer whisky
drinkers something off the normal beaten
track and you don't come across many 25
year old whiskies which has been fully
matured in a Rioja cask, it offers a
good balance of bitter/sweet and the
54.3% ABV simply adds to the flavour
pleasure in the mouth.
