While at it, I'll have a go at 2 more Denmark Exclusives... These 2 (this and the next review) were both bottled in 2012 as opposed to the previous 2 from 2011.
Here's one for the sherry-heads out there... :-)
BenRiach 1996/2012 16yo, 53,1%, Single fresh PX cask#5610, 283 bottles for DK Importer MACY
Colour is mahogany
Nose:
Heavy, dark fruits, some honey, tiny amounts of sulphur that disappears after a short while, hot mulled wine, spirit filled chocolates and malt
Taste:
Dark fruits, creamy mouthfeel, nutty, oily, licorice, mouth filling coffee notes, a good malt backbone still, lots of bitter dark chocolates, a bit drying on the finish.
A great classic style sherried dram!
89/100!
