Comments: 

The classic fruity Benriach notes have ripened, and deepened, into raisins, and orange honey. The smoke and peat are quite obvious, and are well integrated with the rest of the flavour profile. The smoke is rather gentle, woody and toasty on the nose, turning to mere hints on the palate. Good whisky.

Verdict:

I like this.
