Benrinnes 2009 11 Years Single Malt Whisky

Ah, this smells like a proper winter dram, that! 🥃 First whiff - a lovely hit of smoke, like a distant bonfire, but then it mellows into something sweeter. Getting loads of vanilla and maybe a bit of dried fruit, like raisins. The taste is brilliant. Smooth, a bit oily on the toungue. There's a kick of cinnamon or something spicy, but it's balanced by this rich, oaky sweetness. Hints of dark chocolate and a tiny bit of black pepper right at the end. It leaves a warm, smoky afterglow in your chest. A really comfortin' drink for a cold evening. Lovely stuff. 🔥🍯

Oooh this one's lovely innit 😍 Right so first thing I get is vanilla and toffee, proper sweet start. Then there's this wee hint of apple, like them green ones y'know? Bit of spice creeps in after - kinda ginger maybe? Warms the throat nicely 👌 Getting some oak and a touch of smokness at the back, but not too heavy. More like a campfire that's almost out, if that makes sence? Finish is quite long acutally, leaves this malty sweetness on the tongue. Bit of dried fruit there too 🍂 Ages well in the glass - opens up after 10 mins or so, more honey comes threw then. Verdict: solid dram for a rainy afternoon. Would definitley have another 🥃 Not too complex but pleasant y'know? Just easy drinking realy.
