Benrinnes

Benchmark 2022

Since 1826, Benrinnes Distillery has endured a series of unfortunate events. This much-loved Speyside producer flooded in 1829, went bankrupt in 1864, and was severely damaged by fire in 1896! Today, the distillery’s resilient nature is perfectly reflected in its powerful, hearty spirit.

Heavy single malts are well-suited to being matured in rich, highly flavoursome fortified wine casks. We filled this Benrinnes into two casks from our wood partners, Caves de Murça (Tawny Port) and Ximénez-Spínola (PX Sherry), and, after three years, the spirit was brought together to produce this stunning dram

Nose: sugared almonds, spice latte, apple
