A good Benriach, not mind-blowing by any means and certainly not cheap at 80 SGD for a 2cl pour but it does the job

Body

Burst of tropical fruits, mango sorbet, gets slightly rum-my with the sugar cane sweet nose, Very sweet with hints of herbal tea, creamy, gets spicier towards the end but overall a pretty enjoyable & tame body, again bursting with tropical fruits & especially ripe mangoes, definitely a very Irish-like Scotch

Finish

Short finish
