- Description
- Benrinnes from Speyside shows the distillery's characteristic full-bodied, sherried profile in this 20-year-old expression, matured in a single refill hogshead from 1996 to 2016. Expect the meaty, weighty character typical of Benrinnes, with red currants, toasted nuts, and hints of leather developing through two decades in wood. The refill cask has allowed the distillery character to shine through without heavy sherry dominance, creating a balanced, contemplative dram. A rare single-cask bottling of just 273 bottles, suited to those seeking mature Speyside complexity.
