Whisky Forum - Benriach 10

Is anyone else slightly disappointed by the Benriach 10? I've now returned to my half-empty bottle after a few months but my impressions now are the same as when I opened it, i.e. I expected more. There's nothing wrong with it per se, it just has some slightly 'wacky' notes that don't do anything for me. I suspect this must be to do with the type of sherry casks used in some of the maturation, but not sure.

I have only had 1 bottle and got through it quickly and I did enjoy it, but whisky can change over time once opened but as I said mine wasn't opened long.

I had this problem too.

Nothing wrong with it. It's a good whisky for the price. the problem was that I was expending more due to Benriachs other offering and general excellent standard. It doesn't quite stand up to the rest.

As I say, not bad, just an expectation fail.
