- Description
- This independent bottling from Benrinnes, a Speyside distillery known for its unique copper pot stills, brings vanilla and stone fruit to the fore without resorting to cask strength or marketing excess. At 11 years old, the spirit shows ripe apricot, creamy vanilla, and subtle spice with good balance between spirit character and wood influence. The texture is smooth and accessible, with a medium finish. A characterful Speyside malt for those seeking flavour-forward whisky from a lesser-known distillery.
