Tasting Notes

Benriach 8 Year Old 2016 - Strictly Limited (Càrn Mòr) is a delightful single malt Scotch whisky that invites you to savor its rich and enticing aromas. The nose is greeted by waves of creamy milk chocolate and sweet, sun-dried raisins, accompanied by hints of marzipan, soft apricot, vanilla, and toasted almond. As you take a sip, the fruitiness deepens, revealing notes of plum and baked apple, while subtle oak spice weaves in with nutmeg and a hint of clove. The finish is a whisper of almonds and soft, spiced fruits that slowly fade, leaving a lingering memory of its delightful flavors. Aged for eight years in a first-fill sherry butt, this non-chill filtered whisky with its natural color boasts an ABV of 47.5%, making it a true gem in Càrn Mòr's Strictly Limited range.
