Benrinnes Darkness - Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old

Distilled at Benrinnes Distillery in Speyside and matured for 14 years, this release from the Darkness range was bottled at a robust 55.3% ABV after a finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry octave casks, with the cask yielding 340 bottles.

The Darkness series is known for taking mature whisky and giving it an additional finishing period in small octave casks, which dramatically increases the wood-to-spirit interaction and intensifies flavour. In this case, the PX sherry influence brings a rich, dessert-like character that complements Benrinnes’ naturally robust and slightly meaty Speyside style.
