Benriach 27 Year Old 1996 (Milroy's)

Milroy’s Vintage Reserve aims to embody the graceful sophistication of aged distillates. These exceptional releases reflect the timeless whisky traditions of bygone eras. The 27 Year Old Benriach showcased here epitomizes this ethos perfectly. In contrast to many distillery releases, which blend various cask types, this bottling stands out for its straightforward approach. Aged to perfection in a refill hogshead, it harks back to an era when floor maltings were commonplace at the North Speyside distillery, offering a nostalgic glimpse into its history.

Tasting Note by Milroy's:
Nose: Grassy yet dessert-like, poached pears come through first along with coconut, peanut, cashew, rich tea biscuits and a dusting of icing sugar. 
Palate: It gets a little richer here, with profiteroles, red fruits and caramel wrapped up in a brandy butter texture. 
Finish: Medium to long, with a rich oakiness.
