Whisky review : Benrinnes 23 years old bottled @ 58.8%

-1st Benrinnes
-Outrageously expensive
-Cask Strength

Colour: Dark mahogany, copper, oily, very dense.

Nose: Very thick caramel nose, Butter caramel arrival, touches of medicinal oil, band-aid,

Mouth: Thick butter caramel, spices, pine wood, medicinal, chewy, touches of leather, mineral. Does not need water, excellent spirit quality.

Finish: lingering mineral, leather, butter caramel notes. Very pleasant malt !

A for the taste. Thick, chewy, sweet. Excellent.
B+ for the presentation. Would be nice to know if this is or not un-chill filtered.
D for the price. 406,25$ (SAQ)....what more can I say ? Yes it is 23 years (from 1985)...but it stays out of reach for common whisky amateurs.
