BenRiach 22-year-old Moscatel Wood Finish Series

Remarks:
wonderfully balanced malt, very full and complex. A great interplay of sweetness and acidity

Overall I rate this Whisky 91/100 points

• Nose: 91/100 points
  Oranges, apricots, honey, light dates, sweet, chocolate, red apple, if you hang your nose deep in the glass comes a bit of pepper and a sourness shows up, which turns out to be very pleasant. Oak notes also come. Very full and harmonious appearance
  
  
• Taste: 91/100 points
  a bit sour start, then the sweetness comes through and a lot of fruits show up, honey and oak come, oily, slightly creamy, some coffee and again chocolate, as well as herbs
  
  
• Finish: 91/100 points
  Nice aromatic finish, sweet with chocolate, oak herbs, a bit tart in the background, honey, it lasts for a long time
