Tasting Notes

Nose

Stewed fruit, honey, a distinct meatiness. Sulphurous and waxy, with dried apricot, a hint of dark chocolate and a savoury quality that recalls broth. Complex and rewarding for those willing to look past the initial heaviness.

Palate

Rich and full — toffee, stewed apple, a meaty umami quality that defines the Benrinnes character. The partial triple distillation regime, used until 2007, produced a heavier spirit than most Speyside malts. Oak influence is well-integrated, adding vanilla and gentle spice.

Finish

Long, meaty and sweet, with dried fruit and a lingering savoury warmth.

Expert Review

8.2/10

A meaty, complex Speyside malt from a distillery that once practised partial triple distillation — rich and undervalued.
