Bottled for the Old Malt Cask range, this Benrinnes was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2025 at 14 years old from single wine cask #21860. Released at 50% ABV, with an outturn of 269 bottles, it brings together Benrinnes’ naturally weighty Speyside character with the darker fruit and firmer structure that a wine cask can bring.
That style suits Benrinnes particularly well. The distillery’s robust, slightly old-school spirit carries richer cask influence without losing its shape, so the result is a whisky with real depth and presence rather than simple sweetness. In this kind of bottling, the fruit, spice and oak tend to sit alongside a more savoury, structured side of the spirit, giving the whisky a fuller and more characterful profile.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany core and coppery highlights, a wine-kissed glow that speaks of maturity and depth.
Nose
Dark fruit takes the lead—blackberry, black cherry and plum—lifted by red-wine spice and a robust oak. Leather, tobacco and a touch of vanilla thread through the aroma, adding savoury depth and a wine-driven complexity that hints at structure to come. A weighty, characterful nose rather than simple sweetness.
Palate
Weighty and textured on the palate, this Benrinnes delivers dark cherry and plum with hints of blackberry, enriched by wine-cask depth. Spices—cinnamon and clove—shine over a sturdy oak frame, yielding a savoury, slightly tannic backbone. At 50% ABV it stays poised, finishing long with warm fruit, a touch of tobacco, and refined, lingering richness.
Finish
Long, savoury finish of dark fruit, spice and oak. The wine cask gives a richer depth, with restrained sweetness giving way to structured tannins and a lingering cocoa-tinged dryness.
