- Description
- Distilled in 2008 and matured for 16 years in a fino sherry cask, this Benrinnes from Cadenhead's represents the distillery's briny, oily character refined by dry sherry influence. The fino cask imparts pale gold colour and dried fruit complexity without the heaviness of darker sherries. Bottled at natural strength from just 282 casks, this release offers the precision expected from Cadenhead's independent bottling philosophy. A Speyside malt for those who value sherry's subtle contribution over its dominance.
