TASTING NOTES BENRIACH PEATED QUARTER CASKS

Nose

the peat (mineral) component can be felt immediately. After a few moments, fresh cut grass, hay and then spicy notes, mainly white pepper, are outlined. A gentle smokiness follows the whole tasting, together with soft nuances of unripe white peach.

Palate

the mouthfeel is sweet and the white peach is repeated, flanked now by apricot and banana. The spices (white pepper) appear after a few moments. There are also sugary hints. Spices gradually increase in intensity. Notes of cocoa complete the aromatic bouquet.

Finale

of medium persistence. Intense spicy notes, cocoa, coffee and wood are perceptible. A gentle bitterish vein is also perceptible.

The perceptions on the nose, and a good part of the palate, are of good quality. But in the end there is a bitterness that does not harmonize with the aromatic palette and is rather "out of tune". The gradation is good and gives rise to a discrete intensity.
