Notes on Benriach 21 Year Old... This four-cask matured, extra-aged Benriach was first offered in 2018 and now debuts in Australia. Matured in a combination of Bourbon, Virgin oak, Pedro Ximénez sherry and red wine casks, Head Distiller, Rachel Barrie describes it as full of candied peel, honeyed malt and barley sugar flavours. 46% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Rich, textured and complex, there is a glorious clarity to the sugars and fondant vanillas. Even the spices seem happy... without creating too many waves. 90 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2020

The nose offers tangerines, milk chocolate, and spicy vanilla. Peaches, Brazil nuts, raisins, dates, and more chocolate on the palate, with red berries in the background. The finish is medium in length, with cocoa powder and ginger. Not available in the U.S. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Spring 2018)

Notes on Glen Grant Rothes Chronicles Cask Haven...

'Cask Haven' is a duty free exclusive that's snuck its way into a handful of Australian retail stores, but at a dramatically inflated price. This is the first bottling in Glen Grant's Rothes Chronicles series (circa 2019), named after its home town in Speyside. Drawn from a selection of first-fill Bourbon and Sherry casks, it pretty much nails the kind of profile you expect from this distillery; on the nose, honey, pears and red apples come wrapped up in a swathe of vanilla. On the palate, honeyed / waxy fruits have a greener, grassier edge, the spices are a little perky and the flavour definition not quite as well realised as it is on the nose. The finish is crisp and refreshing. Given it's bottled at 46%, you expect a bit of body, and it delivers. In other words, a solid 'everyday' GG plus a little bit more besides. The one litre format adds a little extra sweetness to the value. Very limited stocks.

Other reviews... Remains, as last year, one of the most significant and alluring of all Scotland's malts. 96 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
