A very small batch indie release from The Boutique-y whisky company of just 154 bottles.
The 1800s weren’t kind to Benrinnes. First it was destroyed by a flood, then its owner went bankrupt, then its new owner went bankrupt too, and then it was ravaged by a fire! Luckily, the 1900s have been less dramatic. Now part of the Diageo group, it's become a source for some delicious whiskies with the house style tending towards a heavier malt, mainly matured in European oak. Interestingly, up until 2007/2008, Benrinnes practised partial triple distillation, which you can learn all about from Pete McPeat and Jack Washback (from whiskyfun.com) on the label. (Or, at least you can learn about it from one of them, anyway.) Notes from the bottler as follows: Nose: A mixture of fresh flowers, sweet baked goods and orchard fruit. Quite buttery. Palate: Cake-y in many ways - you've got brownies, sponge cake and a touch of chocolate and caramel tart. A slight whisper of smoke hides behind it. Finish: Lingering chilli-chocolate and pastry. 52.5% Alc./Vol. Please note: slight cracks in the bottle's wax seal are not uncommon. This is not a packaging fault.
