The very first nose is quite unpleasant, as it is made from yeast and young leather. Fortunately it develops soon on meaty and malty hints which I prefer even if this is not my favourite combination of smells.
The palate is more interesting even if it remains quite discrete. Nice fruity notes above the yeast and malt impressions which remain on the background. The mouth is pleasantly sweet.
The finish is quite long and remains dominated by this strange impression of leather/yeast which could come from the triple distillation which is used by the distillery


The nose seems to be rather typical for a Benrinnes, with difficult to describe smells, meat and undergrowth hings.
In the palate, the taste is first quite discrete, and the mouth followes perfectly the nose. Same impressions, same difficulties to describe them. The taste is even special as the nose was.
The finish is cast in the same mould, with the same obsessing notes than in the palate or at the first nosing. This is definitely not my favourite.
