Benrinnes Fable Bay Chapter 4 Single Cask #314284 Whisky 9 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
In stock
This 2013 Benrinnes comes from single cask #314284 and was bottled in 2023 at 9 years old. Matured in a hogshead and bottled at a natural strength of 60.4% ABV, the cask yielded 281 bottles.
A hogshead like this gives the spirit room to develop without dominating it, which suits a distillate like Benrinnes well. The result should be a weighty, characterful whisky, where orchard fruit, malt sweetness and spice are given plenty of space, backed by a firm structure from the cask and the added intensity of natural strength bottling.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm mahogany glow.
Nose
Bitter tangerine peel leads into dark chocolate and cold brew coffee, with yeast and a hint of meaty savor. A touch of tart white wine lifts the nose, while pencil shavings and toasted oak layer in spices, cinnamon warming the back.
Palate
Weighty with a clear nutty character, the palate lets orchard fruit dance around savoury, malt-sweet notes, delivering vivid contrasts and layered complexity.
Finish
Spiced oak lingers in the back, unfurling into a medium-length finish where tropical fruit notes mingle with rich, warm malty depths.
