TASTING NOTES DEGUSTATIVE BENRIACH 17 SEPTEMDECIM

Nose

at first, peat with a fruity hint, which is different from that found in other peated whiskys. The fruits are then more pronounced, banana and apricot, along with citrus (mainly lemon). Pipe tobacco and herbs are present as well. A vegetal sensation appears after a few minutes.

Palate

the mouth feel is spicy. Notes of cinnamon and white pepper are outlined, then continue on to peat. The fruity side, already felt on the nose, emerges slightly.

Finish

of medium persistence, it releases peat, licorice and citrus.

The Benriach 17 Septemdecim unleashes a rather unusual peat note, different from what is common for Islay products. In fact, it is less "coastal". It has a good balance, while the complexity is average.
