Benrinnes 14 Year Old 2010-2025 First-fill Amontillado Hogshead #303522 Raw Cask by Blackadder Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Whisky: A single malt from the renowned Diageo distillery - Benrinnes, bottled as part of Blackadder's unfiltered Raw Cask series. Benrinnes is known for its robust, full-bodied, and complex character, often described as meaty, sulfury, fruity, and spicy with layers of nuttiness and malt, imparted to a large extent by the use of traditional worm tub condensers in its distillation process, which reduces copper contact and allows more sulfur compounds and heavier elements are retained in the spirit, contributing to a richer, meatier, and fuller-bodied whisky. This whisky was fully matured in a first-fill Amontillado sherry hogshead, enhancing the distillery's character with the dry, nutty oxidative notes of Amontillado sherry.

Flavour Profile: This whisky captures the Benrinnes' robust, meaty spirit character enhanced by the dry, nutty oxidative notes of Amontillado sherry. Key flavours include salted caramel, tart orchard fruits like apple and pear, lime zest, walnut marzipan, and white pepper spice, balanced by charred oak and subtle malt sweetness.
