Member Ratings and Notes

Mike

Nose is strong "white" peat, much like Ardbeg. Grassy. Palate is grassy but dirty. Simple. Seems too young. Needs a sherry cask to balance it out.

Dave

A peat Monster with too much sharp bite. Little else ... really. Some malty notes but there is no bacon that usually comes with these young peaty beasts. A nice experiment but I don't think BenRiach should quit their day job.....p[erhaps another 10 year in oak and it will be better.

Andy

Reminds me of a slightly diluted Ardbeg with a hint of non peated new make tossed in. Very drinkable, but low end Islays do better for a similar price. Benriach can do peat much better than this. Put it back in the cask and hold off on the water, guys.
