BenRiach 22 Year (Moscatel Finished)

Some say this is the best finish of Benriach. Maybe there is a reason. The aroma has a strong wine influence, from the sweetest dark red grapes, chocolate triolade - milk, white (mainly) and slightly dark. In addition, sweet tropical fruits - mango, passionfruit- but they are not fresh, but feel like jam or just pureed with sugar. The taste is sugary, with a compote of dogwood, sour cherries, a lot of sweetness, complexity and warmth. Very good start! Wow! Then more sugar, brown, light coffee, and sweet dark chocolate. Taste, that's it. The finish is long, warm, a dense feeling on the palate with fireplace warmth and gingerbread with cherry jam.

Delicious. Nose: Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, Honey, Coffee, Toffee, Raisins, Raspberries, Figs, Pineapples, Mangoes, Passion Fruit, Cherries, Prunes Palate: Raisins, Dark Chocolate, Toffee, Cherries, Honey, Peaches, Bananas, Papaya, Walnuts, Coconut, Nutmeg, Pepper, Almonds Finish: Honey, Sultanas, Passion Fruit, Figs, Pineapples, Papaya

Another very good Benriach effort. Blood oranges, caramel, sultanas, dessert wine. not in the same league as the 18 yr Albarize but still very nice. a few drops of water opened it up nicely. started at 4.25 but by the end it was up in the 4.5 territory.

Wonderful aroma, full of grape smell!

strong, but delicate and flavours
