Whisky review: Benriach 12 years Old ''Horizons'' , bottled @ 50%

Whisky review: Benriach 12 years Old ''Horizons'' , bottled @ 50%

-Triple distilled
-Sherry finished
-Unchill-filtered
-No Colouring
-Started maturation in Ex-Bourbon cask

Colour: Golden, medium bodied, long legs, no colouring here.

Nose: light caramel, spices, touches of port wines, grapes, apples, eucalyptus, butter, cream,

Mouth: Sweet, spicy, caramel+mashed grapes waves, light yet pungent character, thick fruit juice, very light for a 50%

Finish: light, long sherry, spices, sweetness, light toffee, vanilla

B+ for the taste. It's good but, let's say I could choose between this and the 12y Aromaticus Fumosus, I would go for the 2nd one. For those who like Sherry, this might not be the one either.
C- for the price. 111$ (SAQ) seems a bit excessive for this 12y. I can purchase the Dark Rum Finish (15y) for 65$ (LCBO)....
A+ for the presentation, great looking box with matching sticker
