- Description
- Benrinnes, a Speyside distillery renowned for its unusual triple-distillation process, produced this 17-year-old in 1996 and aged it in bourbon barrels until 2014. The extended maturation in refill wood develops the distillery's characteristic oily, fruity character with layers of orchard fruit, honey, and subtle spice. The texture is rich and mouth-coating, with a balanced finish that rewards patient exploration. This strictly limited release of 489 bottles suits whisky enthusiasts seeking depth and character from one of Scotland's most distinctive distilleries.
