Benrinnes Secret Spirits - Single Cask #303872 Whisky Miniature 10 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a ruby sheen.

Nose

Opulent sherry warmth envelops dried apricot, fig and raisin, with vanilla, toffee and toasted oak. Zesty orange peel and cinnamon swirl through the sweetness, while almond and a whisper of espresso add depth. A vibrant, luxurious bouquet carries the 56% intensity with a polished, lingering aroma.

Palate

Full-bodied and warming, this Benrinnes shows a rich sherried sweetness with dark plum, fig and raisin, laced with cacao and toffee. Spices—cinnamon and clove—rise over a silky, oily mouthfeel, backed by a sturdy oak. Long, peppery finish with a bright hint of orange zest.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish unfolds with dried fruit, fig and raisin sweetness, hints of dark chocolate and espresso. Spiced oak and a whisper of sherry ride the palate, slowly fading to a polished, lingering warmth.
