Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

BenRiach 12 Sherry Wood

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 92 Points

This comes from a mix of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, and the nose is aromatic, spicy, and nutty with notes of hazelnut and allspice. The taste is tart with hints of lemon peel, but balanced with a spicy touch of allspice and chili powder and a honey note underneath that keeps it on track. The finish has a great balance of honey and allspice notes, and is long and smooth.
