1995 Signatory Vintage Benrinnes 30 Year Old Symington's Choice Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Summed up as "Fruity, malty and oily" , this Benrinnes has bought welcome relief to tasters who've found some of Symington's selections too sherry-driven. Clearly, the second-fill Pedro Ximenez hogshead has helped to moderate the sweet wine input. Cask #10 filled 345 bottles at 49.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Put it all together and this is quite a bargain for the age statement.

Other reviews... Finally, a 30-year-old whisky from the Cask Strength Collection that isn't overwhelmed by the sherry cask. I don't want to condemn intensive sherry cask maturation, but when the sherry finish is so intense that (almost) nothing remains of the distillery character or the harmony of a 30-year-old whisky, then that's not necessarily desirable in my view. In this case, the finish is very well done and leaves room for other influences. - whiskybase.com
