House Review
-
Intro:
This is an independent bottling of Benrinnes spirit by Gordon and MacPhail. After 17 years of maturing in a sherry cask, this was bottled at cask strength with no coloring or filtering. Let's see how it is.
-
Nose:
Thick, pungent, oily. Orange zest, craem, toffee. Really perfumey.
-
Taste:
Honey, toffee, old dusty sherry. Nutty amaretto, creme brulee and orange marmalade. Some tobacco and musty leather. Not a lot of heat, great mouth feel.
-
Finish:
Short, a bit hot. Sulfur, sawfust, caramel.
-
Overall:
Really great until the disappointing finish.
