Benrinnes Signatory Vintage Symington’s Choice Single Cask #9740 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery edges and a mahogany-tinged core, glowing with warm, honeyed depth.

Nose

A rich, sherried aroma of dark fruit compote—raisins, fig, and orange zest—woven with toffee, walnut, and vanilla. Spiced oak and a whisper of leather unfold into a warm, inviting bouquet.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with a rich sherry bloom and dark-fruit sweetness. Fig, raisin and prune mingle with dark chocolate and roasted almond, while warming spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—draw out tobacco/leathery notes and a touch of citrus zest. Velvet oak coats the mouth, leading to a long, luxurious finish where fruit, spice and toasted wood linger.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherry depth and velvet warmth. Dried fig and raisin sweetness unfolds into dark chocolate, toasted almond, and spice, while polished oak lingers. Leather and pepper weave through the tail, leaving a refined, sun-warmed echo that slowly fades.
