House Review
-
Intro:
Distilled by Benrinnes, bottled by Adelphi and selected for the nation of Switzerland, this 10yr expression was matured in sherry cask #301810 and bottled at cask strength with no coloring or filtering.
-
Nose:
Powerful plum, toffee, sticky pudding. Sherry is powerful and aggressive. Lovely blackberry character, rich honey and raspberry. Brown sugar and praline. Exceptional nose.
-
Taste:
Blackberry, pear, apple crisp. The advent of some ash and minerality. Faint peaty smoke. Plays nicely with the sweet sherry here. Fig, stewed fruits, cocoa and caramel.
-
Finish:
Long finish, pungent and sweet. Lovely ash, some soil, minerality.
-
Overall:
Nice balance, showing really elegant complexity for a scotch this young.
