Tasting Notes
BenRiach 17 Year Old PX Sherry Wood Finish Tasting Notes
Colour: Gleaming polished mahogany.
Nose: Creamy spices, chocolate and sugar-coated almonds flow over sweet sultanas and dark fruit cake.
Palate: Dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee beans merge with sweet dates and fresh figs. Delightful, peppery, vintage oak and warm cigar box spices add to the long, contrasting finish.
