Gifted to me 2010-11-06 Unopened

My comments:
A specialbottling made by BenRiach for my 45th birthday. There were 2 bottles, but bottle number 2 was opened and emptied at the party. The rest of the cask has been vatted together with other casks for a bottling of the 20 year old, so now this is the only existing bottle from that cask. That together with the special label makes this to a very special bottle for me. My score: 84 p

Tasting notes from whiskyfun: Official tasting notes:

NA Nose: Sweet barley sugar with aromatic herbal notes including basil and rosemary. Fresh and zesty.
Colour: Bright pale lemon gold.
Taste: Clean and fresh toasted oak, with apricots and peaches. Beautiful sweet vanilla flavours provides harmonious mix.
