BenRiach Aged 17 Years PX Sherry Cask Finish Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 17 Years Country: Scotland
Benriach 17-Year-Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wood Finish, was first matured in ex-American bourbon barrels, then finished in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks sourced from the bodegas of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalucia, Southern Spain.
“The 15YO took silver at the 2014 International Wine and Spirits Competition and I believe our new 17YO is destined to do even better,” said Benriach sales director Alistair Walker. “It’s a fantastic combination of oak, fruit, spice and sherry, with the sensational Pedro Ximenez influence lending this BenRiach a luscious dark chocolate flavour. It’s a liquid fruit bomb that’s full of sweetness.”
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Creamy spices, chocolate and sugar-coated almonds flow over sweet sultanas and dark fruit cake.
Taste: Dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee beans merge with sweet dates and fresh figs. Delightful, peppery, vintage oak and warm cigar box spices add to the long, contrasting finish.
