Bourbon barrel. En fruktig och fin BenRiach som behöver tid i glaset för att blomma ut ordentligt. Den som är tålmodig får en kanon whisky. Tror dock att flaskorna kommer att gå åt ganska fort.

BenRiach 1975 (Asta Morris)
01 Jun 2011 | BenRiach
Yesterday, in a lovely local bar car hidden from civilisation, it was time for the 25th edition of the Weedram Masters. This is a yearly “super-tasting” of the Weedram whisky club. Bert Bruyneel selected a few stunning old bottlings like Longmorn 1969 (G&M #3716/3717), Jura 1966 (SV #1485) and Ardbeg 1974 (SV #1045). More about this in the weeks to come.
At the end of the evening, a new 35yo BenRiach 1975 was officially presented. Cask #7227 was selected by Bert Bruyneel for his new company called Asta Morris. During his latest trip to BenRiach, he nosed over 60 casks and this was ‘the one’.
Bert thinks it was a Fino sherry cask. I don’t share that opinion (not dry / spicy enough), but in any case it was not a very active cask: the influence is too subtle to pin down the cask type.
BenRiach 35 yo 1975 (51%, OB for Asta Morris Belgium 2011, sherry hogshead #7227, 236 btl.)
Nose: the first fifteen minutes, I thought it would not be as good as the highly praised 1976 casks. It was nice and fruity but rather silent. It’s only after some time and airing that it shows its true character. Great citrus notes (pink grapefruit and tangerine), evolving to warmer fruits like pineapple, mango and strawberries. Quite some honey. Subtle oak adds some spices to the mix. Great nose which keeps evolving in the glass. Don’t be hasty. Mouth: a little sweeter than expected – honey sweetness again. Now lovely notes of fresh apricots and melon, with sweet/sour hints of passion fruit. Ripe mango. Typical BenRiach fruitiness with soft oak in the background. Finish: long and fruity, with pink grapefruit taking the lead in the fruit basket.
Everybody wondered whether this is a new classic and whether it is better than cask #3557. I didn’t have them head-to-head and I don’t think it really matters anyway. All I can say is that it’s different from the 1976’s. It takes more time to seduce you but the evolution in the glass is really a textbook example of great BenRiach. Well done Bert!
Available from today, but probably sold out before you know it. Around € 250. There’s also a 1978 cask from Asta Morris due next week.
Score: 93/100

Sherry cask.
Det står barrel på flaskan och inget annat . Tog för givet att det var bourbon. Det står att Bert tror att det kan ha varit en fino sherry. De vet alltså inte. Killen skriver att han inte håller med Bert.
Såg att den fick 95 p på annan holländsk sida idag.

Ok, men ser ut som det står sherry hogshead på vita delen av etiketten på whiskyhuisbilden.
Den verkar trevlig i vilket fall. Har knappt druckit någon BenRiach själv. Vad har du för poäng?

Får nog bli en beställning av denna, gillar sherrylagrad Benriach skarpt.
