Introduced to the BenRiach range in late 2014 as a replacement for the 30 year old comes this 35 year old expression bringing with it some stunning aromas and mouthwatering and delicious flavours.
It's bottled at 42.5% ABV with no chill filtration or added colours meaning the natural colour and taste remain.
This 35 year old is a classic example of an aged Speyside whisky, this Benriach is sweet and spicy.
This stunning new expression replaces the 30 Year Old - simply incredible!
Nose: Luscious tropical fruit salad syrup with a delicate ripped mint and chocolate back note; all of which are nicely warmed by a gentle toasted oak spice.
Palate: A classic Speyside style, which combines waves of papaya and dried apricots with hints of spice, touches of golden syrup and distant milk chocolate.
Finish: Long and fruity with more chocolate and delicate oak spices.
Juicy dates and plums are tipped into a weighty fruitcake; sit right back in your armchair (no...? then go and find one..!) having dimmed the lights and silenced the room and just let your taste buds run amok: those plums and toasted raisins really do get you salivating, with the spices also whipping up a mid-life storm; angular oak dries and bitters at the rate of knots; sexy fruit, but has late oaky bite.
