- Description
- Benrinnes' typically robust, meaty character is refined through 36 months of European oak Oloroso sherry cask finishing, creating a marriage of Speyside orchard fruit and sherried richness. Bottled at cask strength (59.9% ABV) by independent bottler James Eadie, this 2008 vintage from a limited run of 563 bottles delivers concentrated dried fruit, warm spice, and a full, oily mouthfeel. The sherry influence adds chocolate, dried apricot, and subtle nuttiness while maintaining the distillery's signature earthiness. Best suited to enthusiasts seeking cask-strength Speyside expressions with serious sherry influence.
