G&m Connoisseurs Choice Benriach 2005

The G&M Connoisseurs Choice Benriach 2005 is a single malt whisky from the world-renowned Benriach Distillery. Established in 1898 by John Duff and his sons, Benriach has earned a reputation for producing whisky of outstanding quality and complexity. The G&M Connoisseurs Choice Benriach 2005 is a perfect example of this expertise. This whisky has a pleasant bronze hue that is indicative of its time spent maturing in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, each of which imparting their unique characteristics. On the nose you will find aromas of oranges, dried fruits, toffee and a smoky warmth, while on the palate, the flavors are richer and more complex, with notes of toasted honeycomb, vanilla and spice. This whisky is the perfect example of how whisky maturing in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks can appear. Its balance between sweet and smokey, along with layers of dried fruits, toffee and spice, make it a deliciously decadent dram that any whisky connoisseur should be sure to try.
