Benrinnes Single Malts Of Scotland Single PX Sherry Cask #45231 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
In stock
A Benrinnes single malt bottled by Elixir Distillers for The Single Malts of Scotland range, this 15 year old was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2025 from a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask at 55.1% ABV. Limited to 248 bottles.
Pedro Ximenez cask maturation brings rich, syrupy dried fruit, gentle spice and layered sweetness to Benrinnes’ robust Speyside spirit. The influence of the fortified wine cask complements the distillery’s naturally weighty, malt-forward character, adding depth and complexity in this concentrated single cask release.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with rich mahogany tones and a coppery glow, a sun-warmed, syrupy chestnut hue that hints at PX maturation.
Nose
Rich PX-driven aroma of prunes, fig and raisin glows with syrupy sweetness, mingling with orange peel and a touch of brown sugar. Beneath, Benrinnes’ weighty malt emerges, rounded by vanilla and a whisper of toasted oak. The warmth of cinnamon and clove lends spice to the perfume, inviting a slow, contemplative inhale.
Palate
Full-bodied and richly malty, this Benrinnes coats the palate with dark dried fruit—prune, fig and raisin—layered with salted caramel and a hint of chocolate. Spices rise: clove and nutmeg, with a whisper of oak. The Pedro Ximenez cask lends syrupy sweetness that envelops the malt-forward core, delivering velvety texture, warm balance, and a long, contemplative finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish where Pedro Ximénez sweetness lingers with raisin, dried fig and treacle. Spices unfold softly, chocolatey notes and toasted oak weave through the robust malt, leaving a velvety warmth that slowly fades to a delicate, dry nutty finish.
