- Description
- Benrinnes' characterful Speyside spirit matures impressively in this Signatory 20-year-old, drawn from two hogsheads filled in 1997 and bottled in 2018 at 43% ABV. The cask influence is measured and elegant, contributing dried fruit, subtle spice, and a seam of honey to the distillery's underlying orchard and grain character. The palate is structured and warming, with good depth that builds gradually toward a satisfying finish. Suitable for drinkers seeking traditional Speyside profile without excess sherry influence—an excellent standard bearer for the category.
