Tasting notes from whiskyfun: Official tasting notes:

Benriach 12 yo 1969 (40%, G&M Connoisseur’s Choice old brown label)
Colour: gold. Nose: beautiful freshness, with lots of fruit, flowers and a little coffee. Lots of peach, apricot, melon, guava Rosewater, lavender perfume. Hints of fresh walnut. Fantastic nose, typical of great bottle age on a very good malt. You’ll never find such a nose in a recently bottled malt, even if very good. Hints of spices, like nutmeg or cinnamon. Mouth: how great! Subtle and balanced, with lots of spices coating lots of great fruits. Getting a little peppery and woody, but in a nice way. Medium long finish. A beauty, even if the aromas are a little scattered.
