Benrinnes 14 Year Old is one of few official releases from a distillery that produces one of Speyside's most distinctive and underrated spirits. The former use of partial triple distillation (discontinued 2007) gave Benrinnes a heavier, more savoury character than most Speyside malts, and fourteen years of maturation allow this distinctive meatiness to develop fully.
The meaty, savoury character is Benrinnes' signature — a quality it shares with Mortlach among Speyside distilleries. At fourteen years, this distinctive quality has had time to develop and integrate, producing a whisky of genuine complexity and interest.
Benrinnes 14 is one of Speyside's great hidden pleasures. The distinctive meaty character gives it a personality that lighter, fruitier Speyside malts cannot match. For drinkers who appreciate weight, complexity and savoury depth, Benrinnes offers something genuinely different from the Speyside mainstream.
