Benrinnes 11 Year Old 2010 (Thompson Bros.)
Benrinnes
Tasting Notes
Unveiling a delightful harmony of aromas, the Benrinnes 11 Year Old 2010 whisky captivates the senses with its enticing bouquet. Roasted nuts entice the nose, accompanied by a perfumed malt embrace and a delicate hint of vanilla blossom. As the aroma unfolds, a slow build of dry oak and hickory emerges, adding depth and complexity. Upon the palate, a delightful crunch of brown sugar mingles with the oily richness of barley, leading to a subtle salinity reminiscent of peat and cask char. The finish leaves a tantalizing touch of fresh orange, lingering pleasantly on the taste buds. This single malt, distilled in 2010 at the Benrinnes Distillery, underwent an initial maturation in a refill hogshead before enjoying an eight-month finishing period in an ex-Islay whisky cask, imparting unique nuances. Bottled at a robust 54.7% ABV, this limited edition of 295 bottles promises an unforgettable sensory experience.
