Benriach 6 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Benriach
Tasting Notes
A delightfully youthful yet complex single malt, this 6-year-old Benriach from That Boutique-y Whisky Company offers a captivating symphony of flavors. The nose greets you with a lively medley of white pepper spice, meaty oak, and hints of barley sugar, wood ash, and milky coffee. As you take a sip, the palate unveils a decadent harmony of buttered malt loaf, salted caramel, and whipped hazelnut cream, complemented by the depth of burnt oak, blackberries, sea salt, and ginger root. The finish lingers with notes of burnt cedar and sticky toffee pudding, leaving a lasting impression. This whisky's unique label pays homage to the phrase "monkey shoulder," a colloquial term referring to the hunched posture of maltsters after long hours of turning the malt on the floor, as was once done at the Benriach distillery.
