TASTING NOTES Benrinnes 1997/2016 Valinch & Mallet

Nose

enveloping. It starts with yellow fruits (pear), by then venturing into spicy territories of white pepper. There is a rather complex note of malt, bread and cereals, and different spices, which are constantly evolving.

Palate

sweet, honey, vanilla and orange jam are joined by hints of custard. Spices emerge after a few moments: black pepper and cinnamon. Intensity is almost perfect.

Finale

of long persistence, it releases notes of black pepper, honey, vanilla and milk chocolate.

The distillery is probebly not one of the best known in Scotland. Despite this, this barrel has allowed the Valin & Mallet 1997-2011 Benrinnes to ripen perfectly, creating a structured aromatic palette, especially on the palate (the complexity and intensity are not as high on the nose).
