Another great distillery producing meaty charactered malts, Benrinnes is quite popular amongst independent bottlers and appreciated by connoisseurs for it's light, fruity character. This particular cask of Benrinnes was aged in a bourbon hogshead and finished in an Oloroso Hogshead. Rather than going for a "coloured" result, the finishing was kept short to add a magical layer of prunes, sultanas and spices to this already accomplished malt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glints and a warm mahogany edge.
Nose
Aromas of almonds unfold with quince jelly, creamy custard and gooseberries, then a delicate note of pancakes. The Oloroso finish lends a gentle sherry-sweet undercurrent, heightening the nutty, fruity bouquet.
Palate
Silky marzipan and bitter almonds unfold with tart gooseberries and lemon, finished by a delicate croissant pastry.
Finish
Heather honey lingers with a bright lift of Limonchello and lemon drops, finished by a smooth, buttery veil that slowly fades to a warm, comforting glow.
