Dalmore / 1981 Amoroso Sherry Finesse

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highland. ABV: 42%. Unit: 70cl. 26 years in American white oak bourbon barrels followed by a short, intense period in Amoroso sherry casks from world-renowned bodega Gonzalez Byass has delivered a quite stunning single malt whisky. This single cask bottling has yielded just 484 bottles. Tasting Notes: Almonds, citrus, autumn fruits. This 1981 Amoroso Finesse combines crushed almonds, citrus fruits and warm berries with whispers of cherry, plum and mandarin. The extra period of finesse in Amoroso Sherry wood has nurtured the spicy character of this stunning single malt.

Benriach / 10 Year Old Single Malt

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Speyside.
ABV: 43%
Unit: 70cl
This release is a momentous high point for the award-winning Elgin distillery as the whisky is the first core range expression to be produced predominantly from spirit distilled under The BenRiach Distillery Company’s eleven-year ownership.
Managing Director Billy Walker and his South African partners Wayne Kieswetter and Geoff Bell acquired BenRiach from Chivas Brothers in April 2004.
Bottled at 43% vol, the BenRiach 10 Years Old is Classic Speyside in character. The cask formula focuses on ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks – exactly the types of wood we favour at BenRiach. This fresh, lively, fruit-laden single malt captures warm oak spices, green apple, dried apricots, peach and banana with subtle touches of aniseed, lemon zest and barley.
Style: Classic Speyside.
Nose: A fresh and lively combination of crisp, green orchard fruits, stem ginger and hints of tangerine mellows to creamy vanilla with a delicate note of mint and a gentle twist of citrus; all held together with a sweet barley back note.
Colour: Crisp summer gold.
Character: Warm toasted oak spices flood through green apple skins and dried apricots, ripening to hints of peach and soft banana. Subtle touches of aniseed and lemon zest create a contrasting edge to the fruit and add an intriguing character to the long, crisp barley finish.
