Loch Fyne Whiskies Stocks ‘Benriach Authenticus 25yo’

Fruit fireworks over a fresh peat base line. (So says the Joynson)

A well aged, and so unusual, peated Speyside expression.

Initially the aroma is closed; there is a low rumble of peat and some fruity esters, a little later aniseed and honey.

It’s in the mouth that the fun starts, peat skips from sweet to sour, it’s malty and then *flwoop!* a fruit explosion like no other! This explosion rises further to a greater peak on the swallow, marvellous! The finish is long and peaty (mainland peaty, no maritime notes).

Certainly a different dram, a fascinating weave between peat and fruit and something I have very much enjoyed.

On the Flavour Map square F9, on the Smoky side of Rich & Smoky
