- Nose
- Toffee, maple syrupy, honeycomb and soft-peaked meringue sit with roast potatoes, beef dripping and cornbread. In the background, freshly sliced ham, crème brulee and a scattering of brown sugar.
- Palate
- Syrupy and oily in texture. Burnt caramel and panna cotta are joined by waffles, brown sugars and reduced plums – almost jammy. Lightly tanned leather and honey-roasted ham sit with Victoria sponge cake, whilst gentle pepper simmers in the back-palate.
- Finish
- Medium with pepper and dusty chocolate. The underlying profile of Benrinnes (to my palate, reduced sugars with roasted meats) is excellently represented in this tasty and well-balanced Society bottlings.
