Benriach / Batch 10 / Cask # 296

Benriach / Batch 10 / Cask # 296
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 30 Year Old.   Strength: 43.9%
Summary: Cask Type: Hogshead.
Style: Classic Speyside.
Colour: Crisp bright gold.
Nose: Vanilla-dusted sweet fruits, melon and pineapple combined with gentle soft oak.
Taste: Candied fruits mingle with soft vanilla and cinnamon. A honeyed oak note holds the elegant barley sugar finish.
BENRIACH DISTILLERY
FOR DISCERNING INDIVIDUALS:It’s not often a long kept secret is revealed in the world of Single Malt Scotch Whisky – but here is a true discovery! Since 1898, the BenRiach distillery has very quietly been producing quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has only ever been enjoyed in very small quantities, by a few discerning individuals who have been fortunate enough to come across a bottle.
Today, BenRiach continues to produce its very special Single Malt Whiskies, as an Independent Distiller.
UNIQUE AMONGST MANY:The BenRiach Distillery is located in the ‘Heart of Speyside’, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. The Spey Valley, in which the BenRiach Distillery was built by John Duff in 1898, is home to many of Scotland’s great whiskies, but BenRiach has its own uniqueness borne from the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and high quality barrels selected for maturation.
“I am often asked what makes BenRiach special. There is no one thing, but the starting point has to be reputation and legacy. Then you must take the astonishing skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients we use, the copper stills, the high-quality casks, our rich and varied inventory and our broad range of peated and non-peated expressions. To these you must add independence, enthusiasm, creativity and a real passion for whisky craftsmanship. As a result you get what I call a “heavenly explosion” – a sensational, unique, complex tour de force.

Benriach - 1994 Cask # 4386

Benriach – 1994 Cask # 4386
Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 19 Years   Strength: 55%
Summary: The BenRiach Distillery is located in the Heart of Speyside, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. The Spey Valley, in which the BenRiach Distillery was built by John Duff in 1898, is home to many of Scotlands great whiskies, but BenRiach has its own uniqueness borne from the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and the high quality barrels selected for maturation.
And, BenRiach boasts one further difference – standing apart from the other Spey Valley distilleries, the traditional floor maltings with their distinctive pagoda style chimneys can produce peated, malted barley, enabling the distillery to capture the defining taste of peat reek in a few of their special bottlings.
Cask Type: Virgin Oak Hogshead.
Cask Style: Virgin Oak finish.
Colour: Rich harvest gold.
Nose: A perfect balance of toasted oak spices and sweet barley. Waves of ripped fresh mint and sweet gooseberries add a delicate fruit background.
Taste: A powerful richly oaked character develops into waves of toasted coconut and fruit salad. Vanilla and barley sugar fill the mouth in the classically long sweet oak finish.

Cask Type: Butt.
Style: Classic Speyside.

Nose: 23 creaky old leather and dusty libraries… I feel quite at home; some spiced up juicy dates, too;
Taste: an engrossing experience: the grape is almost as fresh as it must have been way back in the days when Abba were topping the charts. The inevitable spices hold firm, setting into a rich fudge and mocha middle;
Finish: some vanillas and tannins peel off from the grape and it is the popping vanilla pods which have the very last say; Balance: it is impossible to ask any more of an old sherry cask from Benriach than this: quite magnificent.

Cask Type: Rioja Barrel.
Style: Rioja Finish.
Nose: an intriguing head-on meeting of fruit salad and barley sugar… with some spiced vanilla thrown in to remind you of the age; Taste: silky yet strangely well mannered for a malt which has plenty of spices just bursting to escape; Finish: creamy textured, long and deliciously chewable. Some of those spices finally make it into general play; Balance: clean, sweet and quietly understated. — Jim Murrays – 2013 Whisky Bible.

Palate: An initial sweet chocolate and vanilla fullness moves to a delicate, lasting zest and herb note. All backed by a fantastically long rum-soaked raisin and sweet barley finish.

Glenmorangie - 25 Year Old Quarter Century

Glenmorangie – 25 Year Old Quarter Century
Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 25 Year Old   Strength: 43%
Summary: The rarest and oldest member of the Glenmorangie family, this is a single malt of notable class and intensity. Full bodied and sumptuous, the Glenmorangie 25 Years Old is the real embodiment of our continued dedication to perfection. Matured in a range of casks including American white oak, Oloroso sherry casks and French Burgundy casks before being blended back together in exact quantities, the Glenmorangie Quarter Century is complex, bursting with deep flavours, and a perfect testimony to our knowledge and experience. Aroma: The first impression is of dried fruits – blackberries, cherries, plums and dates interwoven with chocolate and coffee. Taste: Big and full-flavoured. Deep forest fruits burst on the tongue with mouth-watering blackberries and redcurrants emerging with bramble jelly. Finish: Long and gentle, with brambles and warming spices. Colour: Old gold.

Mosstowie - 33 Year Old Gordon Macphail Rare Edition

Mosstowie – 33 Year Old Gordon Macphail Rare Edition
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 33 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: For over 25 years Miltonduff Distillery produced 2 different Single Malt Whiskies. In 1955 due to the increased demand within Hiram Walker for different styles of whisky, a chemical engineer, Alistair Cunningham designed the Lomond Still. This type of still had a wide neck which housed three rectifying plates. These plates were used to vary the amount of reflux that took place within the still thus altering the spirit produced. The plates could either be filled with cool liquid or left dry. They could be rotated – the horizontal position would maximise reflux while the vertical position would reduce reflux. Due to increased demand for Ballantines Blend in the 1980s, the Mosstowie stills were altered to produce Miltonduff – the key component of Ballantines.
AROMA WITHOUT WATER: Freshly washed wool and hessian. With hints of polished oak, beeswax and orange peel.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER: A sweet liquorice and aniseed flavour. Pepper and ash notes linger.
AROMA WITH WATER: Creamy hot chocolate aromas with spiced orange and cardamom notes.
TASTE WITH WATER: Cinnamon and Clove influences with hints of Cedar wood.

Port Ellen - 34 Year Old Gordon Macphail Rare Edition

Port Ellen – 34 Year Old Gordon Macphail Rare Edition
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 34 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: Port Ellen is one of the three main villages on Islay and one of the two ferry terminals on the island. The distillery was expanded in the 1960s and temporarily closed in 1983. Its white painted buildings form a street close to the seashore. Only peat which was dug in the district was used in the drying and the water was taken from two lochs in the nearby hills, the principal one used for distilling purposes being noted locally for its purity. Next to the distillery is a modern Maltings which exudes pungent peat smoke.
AROMA WITHOUT WATER: Smoky and liquorice influences with fruity undertones and hints of pear. A fresh sea breeze aroma.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER: Sweet, with peat smoke elements emerging followed by hints of aniseed. Some hints of kippers linger.
AROMA WITH WATER: Butterscotch and pear, with slight medicinal notes. Reminiscent of a wooden fish box.
TASTE WITH WATER: Dry ash flavours balanced with salty brine notes.

Ardbeg - 10 Year Old Single Malt

Ardbeg – 10 Year Old Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 10 Year Old   Strength: 46%
Summary: Ardbeg Ten Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance. Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same time giving more body and added depth. It’s whisky with none of the goodness taken out! Colour: Light gold. Aroma: A burst of intense smoky fruit escapes into the atmosphere – peat infused with zesty lemon and lime, wrapped in waxy dark chocolate. Bold menthol and black pepper slice through the sweet smoke followed by tarry ropes and graphite. As you dip your nose in further, savour the aroma of smoked fish and crispy bacon alongside green bell peppers, baked pineapple and pear juice. Add water and breathe in the vortex of aromas rising from the glass. An oceanic minerality brings a breath of cool, briny seaspray on chalky cliffs. Waxed lemon and lime follows with coal tar soap, beeswax and herby pine woodlands. Toasted vanilla and sizzling cinnamon simmer in the background with warm hazelnut and almond toffee. Taste: An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions on the tongue: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. This is followed by a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. Finish: The finish goes on and on – long and smoky with tarry espresso, aniseed, toasted almonds and traces of soft barley and fresh pear.

Benriach - 22 Year Old Single Cask Tawny Port Finish

Benriach – 22 Year Old Single Cask Tawny Port Finish
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 22 Year Old   Strength: 53.4%
Summary: Nose: there is such aplomb to the almost wafer-brittle thinness of the strand of grape which defines the nose of this whisky, one is almost tempted to put down the glass and applaud. The barley and vanilla attaches itself to the grape with a deftness which defies belief; elsewhere no less delicate stratum of aged dates, faint smoke and manuka honey add to the perfection;
Taste: stunningly salivating and fresh on delivery, there is a busy jauntiness to this which offers great contrast to the nose. The barley really shines and it takes a little while for the grape to finally emerge. When it does, we are back to a slower, more thoughtful building and dispersal of flavours;
Finish: all vibrancy now spent, you need about ten minutes to pick your way through the fruity finish. The peat, which you could swear was on the nose, makes a very late reprise…and stays when it gets there;
Balance: as it happens, just a couple of days back I found a stunning 43-year-old tawny Port being served onboard a Qatar Airlines flight. How an Arab airline got hold of something quite so magnificent I’d like to know. But I doubted if I would find any Tawny-related drink which would better it on the nose for the remainder of the year at least. How wrong I was….

Benriach - 30 Year Old Single Malt

Benriach – 30 Year Old Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 30 Year Old.   Strength: 50%
Summary: Nose: the fruit, though very ripe and rich, remains uncluttered and clean and is helped along the way by a superb injection of sweetened cloves and Parma Violets; the oak is present and correct offering an egg custard sub-plot;
Taste: how ridiculously deft is that? There is total equilibrium in the barley and fruit as it massages the palate in one of the softest deliveries of a 30-y-o around; the middle ground is creamy and leans towards the vanilla; even so, there are some amazingly juicy moments to savour;
Finish: very lightly oiled and mixing light grist and rich vanilla;
Balance: it’s spent 30 years in the cask: give one glass of this at least half an hour of your time: seal the room, no sounds, no distractions. It’s worth it…for as hard as I try, I can barely find a single fault with this.

Benriach - 34 Year Old Single Cask Rioja Finish

Benriach – 34 Year Old Single Cask Rioja Finish
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 34 Year Old   Strength: 14%
Summary: Nose: an intriguing head-on meeting of fruit salad and barley sugar…with some spiced vanilla thrown in to remind you of the age;
Taste: silky yet strangely well mannered for a malt which has plenty of spices just bursting to escape;
Finish: creamy textured, long and deliciously chewable. Some of those spices finally make it into general play;
Balance: clean, sweet and quietly understated.

Benriach – 35 Year Old Single Cask Classic Speyside
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 35 Year Old   Strength: 54.9%
Summary: Nose: 23 creaky old leather and dusty libraries…I feel quite at home; some spiced up juicy dates, too;
Taste: an engrossing experience: the grape is almost as fresh as it must have been way back in the days when Abba were topping the charts. The inevitable spices hold firm, setting into a rich fudge and mocha middle;
Finish: some vanillas and tannins peel off from the grape and it is the popping vanilla pods which have the very last say;
Balance: it is impossible to ask any more of an old sherry cask from Benriach than this: quite magnificent.

Bruichladdich - Port Charlotte Pc10

Bruichladdich – Port Charlotte Pc10
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 10 Year Old   Strength: 59.80%
Summary: Extraordinary to think of the great pride we felt when bottling PC5 back in 2006. In our heart of hearts, none of us knew whether we’d still be around to celebrate PC10, this fantastic spirit’s coming of age. It’s been a long and rocky road but PC10 is here and so are we. This new Islay single malt has reached it’s first milestone. This PC edition celebrates the next generation here at Bruichladdich. Allan Logan is the youngest distillery manager in Scotland, and has been learning his trade at Jim’s right hand for 10 years. He and the other young craftsmen coming through are the future of this distillery – we recognise them now. “Tro Na Linntean”: through the generations. A limited release of 6,000 numbered bottles only. Character: The ultimate spirit six-pack. The heat shimmering over the taste buds awakens the sensory system with sensations it has seldom experienced. Medium weight, satin smooth. Colour: Luminous, harvest gold, honeycomb. Nose: The opening is one of peat smoke and lemon juice, what an amazing contrast! On the second pass the malted barley and sweet, nutty, oak aromatics rise as one. The over-lapping fragrances are inter-mingling with the marine freshness that we know & love, hallmark of our island home, deep in the spirit lies the ripe guava, pineapple, gooseberry & honey-dew melon. They’re all cocooned within the cradle of smoke. Subtle notes of peppermint, pine and anise pop up like champagne bubbles. Aromatically, it’s absolute heaven for peat fans. The briny aspect is with you throughout, blowing in on the westerly slipstream – peated malt, sea air, succulent fruit, mellow oak, sun kissed barley, and soft demerara sugar. Palate: The power surges onto the taste buds, detonating across the palate in wave after wave of flavour. The olfactory senses first detect the peat settling on the back palate, smouldering with intent. Then the combination of oak & barley take the middle ground & vanilla-dipped fruits hold fast on the front palate. With a second sip, the flavours integrate into a harmonious, vibrant taste experience, with the sweet, biscuity taste of the malt shining through to bring balance to the mid- palate. The natural oils hold all the components together giving a smooth- ness that chill-filtered spirits lack. The citrus, marine, moorland fresh- ness is a perfect foil for the peat flavours, giving a taste that can only be… Islay. Finish: The peat-fire embers last long into the night, captivating one’s imagination of ancient life & times on this wild, Atlantic coast. The pleasure of sharing time with a spirit that is eager to please brings contentment, a soul-warming satisfaction. Manna of the wilderness. Mood: Excited. Earthy. Primeval. Camp fire – the darkness and light, warm and cold, dry and damp, danger and safety. Boy scout, more SAS Bear Grylls than podgy Ray Mears.
