Description

Benriach Solstice Aged 17 Years is distilled from heavily peated malted barley, matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in tawny port casks. This memorable malt is a superb marriage of peat and fruit, a worthy successor to the 15-year old edition. It is the second edition of the Solstice series, bottled at 50% ABV and non-chill filtered.

Nose
Fabulous aroma of stewed summer berries including strawberries, blackcurrants and red currants. The berry component is richly locked together by a muscular peaty blast. Latter traces of fortified wine and grape like qualities become apparent.
Palate
Initial, dry roasted nutty notes flow over the palate. This advances to become a heavy peaty affair. Subtle notes of dried raisins, and candied fruit. Clean and very enticing with the dominant peat flavours lingering on the palate.
Finish
Smooth and very long. Long lasting roasted dryness. Coal, peat and spices.
