Benrinnes Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2010 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany edges and a copper-bronze core, bathed in a warm sherry-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent oloroso sherry floods the nose, delivering dark fruit intensity: fig, raisin, plum and date, lacquered with treacle and burnt sugar. Toasted almond, cocoa nib and orange zest weave through polished oak, while vanilla and spice whisper in the background. Warm, velvety and inviting, the aroma hints at a richly sherried, full-bodied Benrinnes.

Palate

Rich, sherried palate with plush dark fruits—raisin, fig, date—wrapped in velvety toffee and cacao. Spices emerge: cinnamon, clove, a hint of nutmeg, threaded through toasted almond and oak. Warm, lingering finish of orange zest and glossy sherry sweetness with a refined tang.

Finish

Long, velvety finish dominated by Oloroso sherry: raisins and fig, cocoa and toasted almond, a spine of warm spice, and suave oak tannins that linger gracefully.
