My wife and I recently returned from an amazing trip to Scotland where we enjoyed a largely east-west trip across the country. Nose: A rich nose, presenting an early impression of chocolate liqueurs - perhaps rum filled, although there is a light sherry-wood note as well. Light smokiness, and a dense floral note. 'Vintage car upholstery' describes it best. An evocative combination of old leather, oil, burnt rubber and exhaust fumes. With water, similar but fresher; polished wood, a piney note. Still a heavy nose. The vintage car leather scents persist when further reduced - at which a faint mustiness creeps in.

The palate is light-bodied (almost watery) and a tad spicy. Flavours of oranges and dark fruits come first, followed by notes of nuts and ever increasing wood spice. Then, an obtrusive bitterness starts to develop and mingles with flavours of caramel and marzipan. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. A rich, sweet and smooth single malt whisky which sees Benrinnes’ fresh, green estery Speyside characteristics subsumed in its dark aromas. This nicely textured single malt is rich and luscious with meaty and savoury characteristics. Alongside four other distilleries, Benrinnes draws its water from springs on the mountain, tapping the Rowantree and Scurran Burns. Following a devastating fire at the end of the nineteenth century, BenRinnes was rebuilt, converting to electric power. The distillery has an unusual distillation method; the six stills are used to partially triple-distil the make. Benrinnes made use of a Saladin Box maltings system from 1964.

Palate: Richly sweet, full, rum-like, with a centre palate impact. In spite of the sweetness, not cloying.Everything is run through worm tubs which are kept very cold,adding weight and meatiness to the spirit. In recent years, this complex distillation has been simplified. An oily and heavy feel and taste.Right up my alley.The sherry cask influence is there, but it doesn’t carry the day as apricots, raisins, a buttery pastry influence with dark fruits envelope the tasting profile.It’s a creamy and rich experience. The leather from the nose comes in mid-palate along with some nuttiness and more spice – nutmeg, clove.The finish is surprisingly long for a 43% ABV. A raisin scone and spice flavour start to slowly ebb into the distance with a very slight tingle on the tongue.

Benrinnes distillery was established in 1826 and is located in Aberlour in Banffshire. A flood destroyed the distillery in 1829, and it was rebuilt in 1835. Ownership of the distillery changed a number of times until it was acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1922. In 1974, Benrinnes changed its distillation process to a “partial triple distillation process”, meaning that the feints from all (wash, feints and spirit still) distillations were redistilled in the low wines still and the first part of that was added to the spirit run. This process was abandoned in 2007 when the distillery switched to a more common configuration of two wash stills and four spirit stills. The 15-year old ‘Flora & Fauna’ bottling was first released in 1991 and remains the only semi-official bottling regularly available.
