- Description
- Benriach's May 2010 distillate spent nine years in refill casks before a 12-month finishing period in a first-fill Palo Cortado sherry hogshead, an unusual choice that adds complexity rather than sweetness. The Palo Cortado—drier and more savoury than typical sherry finishes—brings subtle nuttiness and dried fruit alongside Speyside's characteristic orchard notes. Bottled at cask strength (62.4% ABV) by James Eadie, the higher proof amplifies texture and flavour intensity. A distinctive bottling for those curious about alternative sherry cask profiles.
