Jim Murray Tasting Notes
Nose: Milky Bar kid meets the Man Who Likes to Say Yes. White chocolate with a touch of ripe pineapple and sweet peat. Quite lovely and wonderfully intricate as it oxidises.
Taste: Early, sharp almost acidic malt (is that the pineapple again?). then a waxy sheen as the spicy oak and a touch of honey appear.
Finish: Has thinned out in time-honoured BenRiach tradition, but remains clean and gentle.
