Benrinnes 12yo 2008/2021

Carn Mor
Single malt - Speyside 
Light copper
47.5% ABV
Dram

Nose: Ink, raisins, plums, carrot cake, cocoa nibs, barley sugar. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, cool, tingly, slippery. 
Tasting:  Sweet sour. Damson jam, vanilla, cocoa nibs, marzipan, fresh baked bread, hints of apple skins. 
Finish: Long. Marzipan, fresh baked bread, rolled oats, vanilla. 

Comments: 

Fruity and spicy, with a bitter cocoa bite. It’s light but lingers long on the tongue. Not tropical fruits as one might get with young Benrinnes, instead damson jam and apples. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
