- Description
- Benrinnes 12 Year Old from Elixir Distillers captures the distillery's meaty, weighty essence, amplified by refill sherry butts to reveal red currants, dried oregano, cured meats, toasted walnuts, and leather. At 53.5% ABV, the spirit has sufficient alcohol to carry these complex, savoury notes without compromise. The sherry influence adds subtle sweetness without overwhelming the distillery's funky, robust character. Part of the whimsical Macbeth Collection illustrated by Quentin Blake, this whisky suits those drawn to savoury, unconventional Speyside expressions.
