A SCOTTISH PANCAKE – Score: 6.5/10
Back to the classics with this BenRiach 16 Year Old from the Billy Walker era. A whisky that was long the entry-level offering from BenRiach, a staple of the range.
Since then, we have moved on to twelve years, ten years, and even ageless whiskies.
This BenRiach 16 Year Old, bottled at 43% alcohol, takes us back to the simplicity of no-nonsense whiskies. An effective, light, and affordable whisky for beginners, with its cereal and vanilla notes reminiscent of a Breton crepe.
The texture is creamy, which is rare for an entry-level whisky that tends to be more watery.
The ideal whisky to introduce novices to the world of malt.
