Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones, glinting with a warm sherry glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma: honeyed sweetness blooms with stewed red fruits—cherries, plums, raisins—plus figs and orange zest. A ribbon of toffee and cocoa, with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—woven through polished oak, hinting at the first-fill maturation.
Palate
Silky and honeyed at first, this Benrinnes unfolds with stewed fruit and dark cherries. Sherry-driven sweetness broadens into a lush, velvety palate, supported by subtle spice and toasted oak. The finish is warm and lingering, with fruity depth and refined balance.
Finish
Silky and lingering, the finish opens with honeyed fruit and ripe cherries, deepening into rich sherry sweetness with spice and cocoa notes, and slowly fades to a warming, oak-inflected glow.
