.benrinnes - 15yo - flora and fauna

Possibly sampled at one of the many tours we had at the Spirit of Spirit of Speyside festival 2014. Might have been somewhere else.

43% abv, €60, single malt

Nose: young-ish, malty, fruity, apples, pears

Palate: sweet, liquorice, a hint of wood (?), still a bit malty, fruity, apples, pears

Finish: semi-dry, fruity, apples, medium long
Mark: +++++

Conclusion: Not really a well known single malt for me, but I am rather fond of this fruity, easy access, almost simple whisky. Affordable too.
