Teaninich 2009-2021 | 12 Year Old | Small Batch Berry Bros

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Berry Bros & Rudd 70cl / 46%

A small batch of hogsheads of Teaninich 2009, expertly assembled by the crew at Berry Bros & Rudd and bottled in 2021 as a 12-year-old at a palate-friendly 46%. This will be a good session dram.

Like at stablemate Caol Ila, 2009 seems to have been an excellent vintage at Teaninich. Sadly indie malt whiskies from this distillery often tend to fly under the radar, which is a shame because they're almost always high quality and excellent value.

Attributes

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: This is a beguiling and fruity malt with perfumed aromas emerging. Passion fruit, a touch of lime and polished oak invite further exploration.

Palate: The palate delivers waves of vanilla, yellow fruit and honey with some toasty influence.

Finish: A little liquorice kicks in to herald the graceful finish.

Ronnie Cox Says

“If you ever find yourself driving North from Inverness on what feels like a super highway try to stop off at Alness and see if you can fish for salmon in the morning followed by a visit to Teaninich in the afternoon. You might not catch a fish but you’re certain to have a fascinating tour of this modernised (2013) large distillery, the product of which are surprisingly rare to find.”
