Bottle #ベンリネス(BENRINNES)
This was a solid Speyside malt. Benrinnes BENRINNES 20yo THE WHISKY EXCHANGE 'TIME II' 50% One of 280 bottles The aroma is slightly heavy yet elegant, with dried apricot, orange marmalade, candy apple, cinnamon, a touch of grassiness, and rich woodiness. On the palate, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel that expands into a fragrant and rich flavor, with viscosity, apricot jam, tree sap, a sweet depth, moderate woodiness, and a sweetly rich finish. [Good/Very Good] This is the second release from The Whisky Exchange's new series, Time Series. The Benrinnes 20 Year Old has the elegance typical of Speyside, but also features a sense of weight with concentrated fruits and woodiness. It offers a good sweet viscosity when drunk. It is neither an unimpressive, passing-by type nor does it leave a strong impression. It's a well-balanced Speyside malt that combines elegance with depth. #Benrinnes (BENRINNES)
