- Description
- Benrinnes' 12-year-old from 2008 underwent an intriguing finishing in first-fill Pedro Ximénez, adding layers of dried fruit and rich sweetness to the distillery's robust Highland character. The PX octave finish would impart notes of raisin, toffee, and dark chocolate over the underlying spiced, oily spirit. With only 67 bottles produced, this represents a rare, highly allocated expression. Suited to adventurous drinkers seeking unconventional Speyside finishes.
