Benrinnes Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1969 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a coppery glow and rich mahogany undertones, glistening like autumn honey in a sunset glass.

Nose

Ripe orchard fruit with orange zest and a touch of honey. Sherry whispers emerge as raisins and fig unfold, supported by vanilla and almond. Spicy warmth from clove and nutmeg lingers, while polished oak and a waxy tinge add aged, refined depth.

Palate

Silky and refined on the palate, Benrinnes carries a lush sherry-driven sweetness—raisin, fig, and orange zest—balanced by toasted almond and polished oak. Spices—cinnamon and clove—emerge mid-palate, weaving through a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and contemplative, with cocoa, leather, and lingering fruit, leaving a warm, dignified resonance.

Finish

Silky and expansive, the finish lingers with sherry-dark depth. Raisin and fig drift through warm spice, while cocoa and toasted oak gently fade into a long, comforting sweetness that invites the next sip.
