Benriach - 17 Port Soltisce

Quick notes made on this Benriach expression 17 years old, heavily peated with a Port finish while at a festival

Nose
Peat, berry, sweet, not too overpowering on the peat. Vanilla, fruity. All flavours not too strongly present sadly.

Palate
Fruity, light peaty with clear port influences. Sweet, red berries, vanilla and raisin

Finish
Medium length finish

Score
It does not carry enough "punch" for me? It has some sweet fruity and peaty characteristics, but does not seem to be deep in flavour? Giving it a small 7 out of 10.
