✦ Neatly Summary

Benrinnes 25 Year Old 1996 (cask 11712 & 11716) - Cask Strength Collection (Signatory) is a 25-year-old single malt from Benrinnes (Speyside, Scotland), bottled at 53.2% ABV. Expect oaky, sweet and lightly fruity character — old wood, malt extract, sherried, nutty. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Benrinnes' 1996 vintage spent 25 years maturing in hogshead casks before Signatory released it at cask strength in 2022, yielding 537 bottles from this quarter-century maturation. The extended aging in wood develops deep complexity typical of mature Speyside malts, with layered spice, dried fruit, and rich oak integration. This cask strength release from 1996 suits collectors and serious drinkers seeking the depth that only decades of patient maturation can achieve.
