Benriach Single Cask #2506 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm honey-bronze glow that glints softly in the light.

Nose

Opulent sherry notes crown the aroma: dried fig, raisin, and candied orange peel, faded by vanilla-tinged oak. Warm spices—nutmeg and cinnamon—dance with cocoa and espresso roast, while toffee and honey add plush sweetness. A luxurious, inviting nose that signals a bold Speyside experience.

Palate

Opulent and warming, it coats the palate with rich dried fruit—plum, fig, raisin—kissed by orange zest. Sherry-soaked notes mingle with dark chocolate, treacle and subtle hazelnut. Cinnamon and clove spice build mid-palate, leading to a long, velvety finish where oak, cherry and warm pepper linger.

Finish

An enduring, sherried finish that lingers with dark fruit, fig and raisin, braided with toasted almond and orange zest. Rich cacao and caramel unfold slowly, spiced by cinnamon and clove, while polished oak cushions the spirit, leaving a warm, velvet fade that coats the mouth and lingers with time.
