Tasting Notes
BenRiach 9 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) is a delightful single malt that invites you on a journey of flavors. Upon nosing, you're greeted with aromas of polished oak, reminiscent of a well-crafted piece of furniture, intertwined with the sweetness of caramelized sultanas and the nutty notes of hazelnuts. As you take a sip, your palate is tantalized by the zesty citrus peel of oranges, complemented by the richness of almonds and the smoky char of the barrel. A touch of burnt sugar adds an intriguing complexity to the mix. The finish, subtly drying and smoky, lingers pleasantly, leaving you yearning for another sip. This independently bottled expression pays homage to the skilled maltsters who meticulously turned the barley, developing a "Monkey Shoulder" – a testament to their labor-intensive craft.
