Tasting Notes
Nose
Luxuriously sherried on the nose, dark dried plums, raisins and fig mingle with toffee, treacle and cocoa. Warming spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—drifts over polished oak, with hints of almond and espresso, signaling a velvet Pedro Ximenez finish.
Palate
Velvet-rich and full-bodied, this Benrinnes delivers dark fruit density—ripe fig, prune and raisin—intertwined with silky treacle and orange zest. Subtle cocoa and espresso notes emerge as spice and oak weave a creamy, luxurious mouthfeel. The Pedro Ximénez finish coats the palate with luscious sweetness, balanced by refined tannins and a warming, lingering finish.
