Benrinnes Flora & Fauna Single Malt Scotch Whisky 15 Year Old
In stock
Flora and Fauna, nicknamed by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson, was a themed series of distillery only single malt whisky releases. Each distillery was given a particular creature as its symbol, which is elegantly displayed on each bottle's beautiful label.
The first official bottling from this obscure Speyside distillery as part of the Flora and Fauna series of Diageo owned Single malts and first released way back in 1991.
Part of this malt was triple distilled due to its unusul mix of wash and spirit stills but a practice now abandoned at the distillery situated on the road to the more famous Macallan distillery at the foothills of the Ben rinnes.
One of the aces in the Flora and Fauna range and a shame that most of this single malt goes towards the J&B and Johnnie Walker blends.
Worth seeking out Independent bottlings of sherry cask Benrinnes if you like your Mortlach, Clynelish and Brora for a more savoury edge to sweet sherry casks.

Tasting Notes

Deep amber with luminous copper-gold highlights and a rich mahogany edge, a warm, sunlit glow that hints at sherry depth.

Savory meat-stock onset gives way to rich sherry oak, a hint of smoke, new leather, honey, fig, dark orange marmalade and caramel.
Palate
Savoury mouthfeel with nut brittle, leather, fig jam, dark honey flapjacks, dried apricot and peppery oak.
Finish
Rich chocolate truffles and figs in honey unfold into savory smoked nuts, with earthy forest floor notes, carried by a final embrace of sherry cask that lingers.
