Tasting Notes

This 11-year-old Benriach single malt whisky captivates the senses with its decadent aromas and flavors. Unveiled in 2023 as part of The Golden Cask collection, this dram spent over a decade resting in a single bourbon cask, allowing it to develop a remarkable depth of character. The nose entices with notes of buttery shortbread, velvety vanilla custard, and a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, a luscious fusion of chocolatey malt, creamy fudge, and waves of vanilla unfold, accompanied by undertones of oak char, runny caramel, and delicately spiced butter biscuits. As the finish lingers, a gentle spice emerges, revealing candied ginger and a touch of nutmeg, while the creamy vanilla remains a persistent and enchanting presence. Truly a golden treasure, this Benriach whisky offers a delightful harmony of rich, indulgent flavors meticulously crafted over time.
