BenRiach 1971 2011 edition

This was really the one most people were looking forward to trying, as it got raving reviews from some whisky folk (Serge at WF, for example), in addition it’s not cheap dram, so this was a great opportunity to try a few drops of glory.

Nose: Very fruity with a lot of red grapefruit, Kiwi, Melon, apples and lemons, then some more exotics – lychee and guava, a wonderful fruit salad of exotic ripe goodness, with a touch of maltiness, and sugar.

Palate: Grapefruit with a lot of Spice boarding on Tropical mix nectar with Melon, Papaya and pineapple (dried).

Finish: Fruity and exotic. yumm
