TASTING NOTES - Benrinnes 23yo Chorlton Whisky

Nose

very compact, yet expressive and pleasant, with an evident waxy dimension, on top of which a pack of different, yet difficult to separate fruit is very evident. Even though the experience is less sweet than in other products, the spirit results very balanced among fresh notes and fatty, almost meaty body.

Palate

sweet but also rich thanks to the presence of meaty notes, with a great texture enveloping the palate.

Finish

very long, somehow meaty and fruity at the same time, with a good complexity

Benrinnes 23yo by Chorlton whisky is overall a complex, nice spirit, delivering a very comprehensive experience of fresh, meaty and fruity notes all together, with a perfectly chosen ABV.
