Benrinnes The Snaking Coil 28 Year Old, Ex-Bourbon Hogshead & 1st Fill American Oak PX Hogshead Cask, Cask #36.228, Outturn 1, 1996, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 47%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

This leans firmly toward rich, sweet fruit rather than the herbal or tea notes I tend to look for. The contrast of plum and banana with fudge sounds especially appealing, while rose petals and allspice give the nose a more lifted edge alongside the chocolate and marzipan. Old oak and dried figs carry that weight through the finish. A coherent, dessert-leaning character, though not an especially close match for my usual preferences.
