- Description
- Benrinnes' 1998 vintage, aged 14 years in Speyside's signature style, develops the distillery's characteristic sherry-cask influence with rich, spiced fruit and warm oak. The 1990s-era production contributes to a fuller palate and darker profile than many contemporary Speyside expressions. A window into Speyside's generous, fruit-forward character, suited to evening sipping or as a bridge between lighter and heavily sherried Scotch.
