BenRiach 16-year-old Maroon Label

Remarks:
pleasant to drink. Looks very balanced and soft. But I find the 16yo Blue Label (2012) more interesting from the profile

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

• Nose: 86/100 points
  rather light fruits, spicy oak, becoming slightly sweet, tart, some leather, malty, quite soft. Then come vanilla and caramel, white chocolate. In the end, it gets spicier and oak comes through
  
  
• Taste: 86/100 points
  sweet, vanilla, caramel, light fruits, chocolate, then slightly tart and spicy with oak notes, citrus fruits, slightly nutty and malty
  
  
• Finish: 86/100 points
  sweet with light fruits, vanilla and caramel, slightly tart, spicy oak, some nuts and slightly citrus fruits in the background
