Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry-cask aromas unfold with ripe dried fruit—raisin, fig and plum—framed by dark chocolate, orange zest and toasted almond. Waxy vanilla, cinnamon and cedar spice weave through polished oak, while a warm, generous alcohol lift hints at the whisky’s age and cask strength.
Palate
Opulent and velvety, this Benrinnes delivers a sherry-laced palate of dried fig, date and plum, with cocoa, caramel and almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove, black pepper—rise against polished oak, while treacle-like sweetness lingers, finishing nutty and warm with an enduring, refined glow.
Finish
Long, warming finish with sherry-influenced depth: dried figs and plums drift into cocoa and espresso, while soft spice threads through the oak. A velvety sweetness lingers, tapering to a nutty, toasted finish that invites another sip.
