Benriach 1990 / 18 Year Old
Product Description

Our previous bottling of Benriach picked up a Silver Medal at the Malt Maniacs Awards 2008, and this one, although slightly younger, shares a lot of the same qualities and has a bit more fire in its belly. A tremendous dram.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Tim F

    • N

      Honey initially, with wet turf in the background. Some orangey citrus notes developing, with the fruit becoming more exotic with aeration. A pleasant earthiness, and some blackberry, apple and briar aromas emerge later. A silky malt presence throughout. Eventually some creamy chocolatey notes appear. Extremely promising.

    • P

      As with the nose, sweetness first - then a big surge of peat. Immensely powerful presence in the mouth, with bonfire smoke, honey and a lot of pepper and hot spices jostling for attention. A real maelstrom of flavours.

    • F

      Long, long, lingering warmth, with the smoke alternating between coal and wood, and the spices rattling along nineteen-to-the-dozen on a bed of sweet malt.

    • C

      You can probably tell that I like this one a lot. An epic dram. It really beggars belief that Seagram managed to make such an arse of this distillery at a time when it was producing such tremendous spirit. Thank God for the more enlightened new owners and management. If they're sitting on a bunch of casks like this we are all in for a treat, and BenRiach will be re-established in the pantheon of the very best Speyside distilleries.

Customer Reviews

  • Robert van Hal, Malmo, Sweden

    We tried this during last nights tasting. It was much less peaty and smoky than the tasting notes by Tim F suggests. Almost no peat and smoke at all actually. A bit of a dissappointment I must say, allthough it's still a nice enough malt.
