Tasting Notes
Teaninich 9 Year Old 2012 - Benchmark (Murray McDavid) is a symphony of flavors that will transport you to a realm of indulgence. The nose captivates with its alluring bouquet of orchard honey, ripe apples, and roasted almonds, intertwined with sweet, roasted malt and buttered shortbread. As you take a sip, your palate is greeted by a harmonious blend of prunes, dates, figs, and sultanas, beautifully balanced by floral oak notes and hints of muscovado sugar and biscuity barley. The finish lingers with a delightful syrupy flapjack, studded with raisins, and a dusting of wintery spice, leaving a delightful warmth in its wake. Distilled in 2012 and finished for three and a half years in Madeira wine barriques, this single malt from Teaninich has been imbued with a wealth of juicy dried fruit and dark sugar, creating a hearty Highland malt that is truly a joy to savor.
