- Description
- Benrinnes' Winter 1999 distillate spent 12 years in a single sherry butt, developing the rich, dried-fruit character typical of this Speyside distillery. Sherry cask maturation adds layers of dark chocolate, stewed plums, and warming spice to Benrinnes' naturally oily spirit. The texture is weighty and full-bodied, with a persistent finish. A robust, cask-driven malt for those who appreciate the influence of quality wood.
