Tasting Note

Nose & Palate

Typical of Benrinnes, expect a meaty, savory depth balanced with sherry sweetness—notes of dark fruits (like cherry or raisin), toffee, almonds, and a stable of umami/meaty tones

The charred oak finish contributes rich spice, creamy vanilla, more dried fruit, and a hint of baking spice.

Finish

Oily and full in texture, with lingering salted-meat umami, layered with sweet sherry and spicy oak
