- Description
- Benrinnes' 2006 distillation aged 13 years in a single hogshead before bottling in 2019 by Alistair Walker Whisky Company at a weighty 59% ABV. Benrinnes' unique distillation process—partial triple distillation—creates waxy, oily texture and creamy malt-forward character, here deepened by hogshead wood influence and natural colour. The high ABV opens rich spice and subtle oak without astringency. A cask-strength Speyside for those comfortable with proof and wanting full extraction of distillery character.
