BenRiach 17 Year Old "Solstice" Single Malt Scotch Whisky
WA
Whisky Advocate
A heavily peated BenRiach that has been finished in a tawny port pipe. The nose is akin to cherries, sloes, and blueberries soaked in alcohol. The peatiness manifests itself as a smoky herbal note and shows most on the palate, but is never too dominant. An oil of clove coolness takes control on the finish. Great balance and integration; a finish that genuinely works. (Dave Broom, Summer 2011)

Notes
This peated, port-finished malt from Benriach is an absolute home run. It's got rich, dark-fruited flavor and blast of campfire smoke on the finish. It's straight-up challenge to Lagavulin 16 in style, with both the richness and the peat--and it's better executed. Really good stuff. This is what I wish the Laphroaig Cairdeas tasted like! (David Driscoll, K&L Spirits buyer)
