Tasting Notes by Stuart P
-
Nose
Nutty, rich, damp earth. Almonds and hazelnuts, with appealing green-apple freshness aromas of lemon and grapefruit, lifted by cinnamon, nutmeg and toffee. Lovely and fresh.
-
Palate
Floral and spicy, with clean, bright fruit: green apples, pears, honeysuckle. There’s some spiciness in there, too – a little black pepper, a hint of clove and a touch of crème brûlée.
-
Finish
The spiciness hangs on, but the overriding character is fresh, clean fruit. Refreshing and lip-smacking.
-
Comment
For me, this is classic Speyside, with its gentle character and refreshing fruit. Well balanced and very well made.

Producer's Tasting Notes
-
Colour
Crisp summer gold.
-
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.
-
Palate
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.

As of now, this is my go-to Speyside. (For reference - I find Glenmorangie 10 and Glenlivet 12 a little bland for my taste.) The notes above are pretty much spot on. There's also a bit of a citrus note. The tannins here do bring, in equal parts, a mild sourness and bitterness (not negative notes, far from it, engaging ones.) I enjoy this even more with a small dash of water - tips the balance in favor the sour notes, unlocks the pear-y flavors, and adds a touch of honey that's just lovely.

An absolute belter. Some great spice and warmth to this dram with consistent pear notes and a slight taste of banana.

Also purchased the 20yr miniature and found the 10 year to be much more enjoyable. In its price range I'm yet to find a better single malt.

Wow I have to admit this whisky suprised me with how good it is. I wasn't expecting much after I had Benriach 16 previously which I bought after being highly reccomendend it and I didn't like it. But the 10 is lovely: beautiful colour, really fruity smell and really fruity Taste. Very smooth for a 10 year old although it does have some slight kick which you can feel in the after taste on your tongue, but it goes away after not too long. This is a nice dram overall.
