[Good/Very Good] Released in April, this Benriach 1997, 19-year-old whisky was aged in bourbon barrels. A single cask from a high-quality barrel, it exudes rich aromas and flavors of orange oil, cream, vanilla, and luxurious oak. Notably absent are any woody or astringent notes, which is a positive impression. Furthermore, the peach-like characteristics, likely originating from the original spirit, are distinctly present in the flavor profile. The balance of fruity sweetness and acidity is well executed, with rich oak tannins deepening the flavor. I believe this is a highly accomplished Benriach, skillfully matured and bottled.
