Description
Benriach The Sixteen Bottling Note
An exciting addition to the Benriach collection, with a shiny new unpeated 16-year-old single malt! Matured in a selection of bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks, The Sixteen is based on a revised recipe of its much-adored predecessor, Benriach 16 Year Old. With a generously fruity core, supported by layers of creamy malt and toasted spice, it's a splendid sipper from the Speyside-based distillery.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Apple turnover with dustings of brown sugar, biscuity malt, a hint of apricot, and richly toasted oak.
Palate: Silky layers of creamy barley, peach, and apricot lead to sweet notes of apple crumble and cooked plums.
Finish: Honeyed nuts arrive towards the finish, with more soft, creamy malt, a touch of oak char, and warming, woody spice.
