Tasting Notes
Benriach 16 Year Old Sauternes Finish is a rare gem, with only 1,650 bottles ever produced. This whisky is a true delight for the senses. On the nose, it reveals a nutty character, reminiscent of almonds and hazelnuts, intertwined with hints of cereal and flour, providing a delightful gristy aroma. The sherry influence is undeniable, lending a rich and complex depth. As you take a sip, the palate is enveloped in a thick, chewy texture, unveiling a supple depth that caresses the tongue. A refined sweetness dances on the taste buds, accompanied by an intense vanilla essence and oaky spices that tantalize the senses. The finish lingers with oaked spices and a peppery smokiness, leaving a lasting impression. This exceptional whisky was finished in First Growth Bordeaux casks, previously used to mature the prestigious Sauternes from Chateau D'Yquem, adding a truly unique character to its flavor profile.
