Nose: Light, fresh, ref fruit, light oiliness.
Flavour: Fresh fruitiness, cake, some pepper, a little wood, pleasant bitterness, lasting tasty finish.
Body: Smooth, gentle creaminess, stimulating dryness, some kiwi pulp like texture.
Comments: From the first sip it's obviously quite an atypical Benriach with a more playful character than the originals. I wouldn't mind tasting more of these.
