Darkness Benrinnes PX Cask Finish 14 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

Well-sherried Benrinnes invariably works a treat and is always tempting. The slightly meaty, nutty character of the spirit derived from partial triple distillation and use of worm tub condensers gives body to many of Diageo’s blends. This isn't the first time Darkness have bottled Benrinnes after a finishing in Pedro Ximénez octaves, so obviously they think it's a worthy match. In this example it imparts a generous helping of vibrant red fruit notes. The price is right for a cask strength 14 year old! 55.3% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Strawberry jam and pecan pie, with a whisper of old oak furniture. Palate: Vanilla pod, Nice biscuits, chocolate peanuts, dried cherry, and mince pie filling. Finish: Fiery ginger and chocolate ice-cream.
