BENRIACH 35 ans 1979 Bourbon Barrel Peated Batch 12

Aged in a bourbon cask (no. 517), Benriach 1979 is a 35 year old single malt with hints of peat. On the nose, the smoke is ever present and accompanied by notes of white pepper, pineapple, mango and a hint of chutney. On the palate, the fruit is still present (papaya, melon) and notes of ginger and vanilla are combined with ambient peat. The finish reveals notes of herbs as the peat fades away. Bottled at 46.90%, non-chill filtered.
