Benrinnes 2009

It has a very light straw color and a delicate nose, with a hint of mineral and citrus. The taste is cinnamon mixed with lemongrass. The mouthfeel is fascinating, like a wave of warm pepper and cinnamon spice, with smooth, gentle apple and shortbread flavors coming through the middle. A touch of sugar appears on the finish.

Nose: Sweet green apples. Taste: Quite spicy and peppery, not smooth or sweet at all. Finish: For me, it's predominantly spice.

Aroma: apple, lemon meringue Taste: apples, spices, pepper Finish: apple with a touch of smoke
