- Description
- Benrinnes' 2008 vintage aged for eight years in refill hogshead 11072 before bottling by Douglas Laing for their Provenance range in March 2016. The refill cask has preserved the distillery's characteristically funky, waxy character beneath developing oak influence and subtle spice. Expect a medium-bodied spirit with herbal, slightly sulfury notes typical of Benrinnes' unique fermentation style, balanced against emerging oak sweetness. An excellent introduction to Benrinnes' distinctive profile for those willing to explore beyond conventional Speyside character.
