I like this one. Hint of chocolate, vanilla, ginger and spice as well. ABV 46% non chill filtered. Add a tiny dash of water to open this one up. Would buy again. Cheers.

Dates and raisins on the nose, touch of orange peel,
Peppery, quite a bit of wood tannin balanced by sweet dried fruit and toffee notes. Almonds on the finish. Water brings out stewed apple and plum notes. Long and rich. Fruit lingers for ages. Very nice whisky,.
2008 vintage - so that 15 years old.

Power and balance, just a bit sweet
This one has a slightly fruity, somewhat cookie-ish nose, with toasty, bready, nutty, caramel malt notes on the mid-palate. It has a great, complex flavor profile and still stays rather mild-mannered. You could drink this one regularly without ever getting bored, nor overwhelmed.

11/9/2021 - Harley1199 Likes this wine: NR

25 ml served in cognac glasses. Meeting of irredentive drinkers taking advantage of the local holiday in Madrid. The tasting begins to get complicated by the alcohol accumulated in blood and the fatigue of the palate. Nobody here spits and we don’t understand at this point why we have left the best for last. Aged 22 years between American oak and old casks of sherry. The presence of turb has practically disappeared and the notes of raisins and dates prevail, very much in the style of the Pedro Ximénez grapes. First of all, a delicious curiosity. Bottle recently opened and brought by Borja.

25 ml servidos en copa de cognac. Reunión de bebedores irredentos aprovechando que es fiesta local en Madrid. La cata comienza a ponerse complicada por el alcohol acumulado en sangre y la fatiga del paladar. Aquí nadie escupe y no entendemos a estas alturas por qué hemos dejado lo mejor para el final. Envejecido 22 años entre roble americano y antiguos toneles de Jerez. La presencia de la turba prácticamente ha desaparecido y prevalecen las notas de uvas pasas y dátiles, muy al estilo de las uvas Pedro Ximénez. Ante todo una curiosidad deliciosa. Botella recientemente abierta y aportada por Borja.

W.A.N.K. (Zoom call): Alcohol lends loads of peppery spice, raisins, apples, leather, a little sherry cask...but not much. Sweet on the palate, raisins, leather and apple. there is a bit of tannic grip on the mid palate along with a little cream. Lovely.

Benriaches single cask with Stewart Buchanan (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Ooh, proper smoky; not smoked fish or iodine or seaside but ashy and smoky - bonfire in fact. A little meaty, spicy, apple and lemon very far in the background. The palate is far more enjoyable than the nose; the peaty smoke is sweeter and lends more complexity and generosity. Still far too big for the fruit but this is smoothly textured and perfectly pleasant whilst carrying considerably long on the palate.

Benriaches single cask with Stewart Buchanan (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Tokay very much to the fore, slight oxidised apple, sweet spice, raisins, cream backed by a little barley and a touch of woodiness on the finish of the nose. And a little volatility. Savoury woodiness, the most textured whisky so far, touches of raisin, tea and menthol, it also finishes a touch bitter. Meh for me.

Benriaches single cask with Stewart Buchanan (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Cherry, sweet spice, cream, barley, a little wood glue under this. Fruitwise initially it's ripe apple backed by caramel/toffee, slightly cloying sweetness, a little green note as well. The alcohol is very slightly high on this one but the flavours and are apple, a little cherry, slightly woody, softly textured, creamy in fact. Long. Very nice. Pleasing.

Benriaches single cask with Stewart Buchanan (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Ooh, PX dominates the nose; touches of molasses, sweet spice, slight caramel and syrup. A little green apple and citrus in the background that shows more with time. Again a little cherry quality. And, again, the alcohol lends heat and spice but, without the addition of water, it's beautifully balanced. PX flavour are here and rather dominate, there are some drying tannins on the mid palate, the apple starts to show on the finish. Complex.
Water lifts the peppery spice and woody notes, slight caramel sugar tending to muscovado, a little apple. Again the water lends more alcohol heat and lends that prickly alcohol heat and some tannic bitterness to the finish.
Nice in a slightly 'flashy' way. No need for water

Benriaches single cask with Stewart Buchanan (Oak Barrel, Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Wood glue, a little woody spice, a little pepper, alcohol lends spice, apple and raspberry. On the palate the alcohol is present but not dominant. Fruit more savoury and woody, spice less obvious on the palate, a little pepper and texture on the mid palate lends a little burr.
Water really helps the fruit open up. Woody, apple, cedar, similar spice, a slight candied note and leather as well. On the palate the alcohol is, oddly, more obvious: It gets' hotter and spicier; prickly like chilli. Bit too much for me. Meh.

Initially bourbon-like (not ex-bourbon-matured !) nose of fresh saw dust and log cabin and some coca cola, but there’s also the rust and the nuttiness and slightly used socks of ex-sherry matured scotch. Equally beautiful palate that fits the nose exactly ! Noble sweetness of moscovado sugar, dry in the length. My rating here is trying to be "objective", a subjective rating would be one or two notches less. Despite the undoubted quality, it seems I am getting tired of this style.
