Tasting Notes
Benriach The Sixteen is a delightful addition to the distillery's collection, offering a harmonious blend of flavors meticulously matured in bourbon, sherry, and new oak casks. This unpeated 16-year-old single malt whisky entices with its inviting aroma, reminiscent of freshly baked apple turnovers dusted with brown sugar, complemented by hints of biscuity malt, apricot, and richly toasted oak. On the palate, silky layers of creamy barley intertwine with peach and apricot notes, leading to the sweet indulgence of apple crumble and cooked plums. As the sip progresses, honeyed nuts make a delightful appearance, accompanied by soft, creamy malt, a touch of oak char, and warming, woody spice notes. The Sixteen is a splendid sipper that showcases Benriach's expertise in crafting well-balanced and generously fruity expressions, making it a delightful choice for any whisky enthusiast.
