Tasting Notes
Benrinnes 11 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish (Darkness) is a whisky that takes you on a delightful journey of flavors. As you pour it into your glass, the aroma of crisp apples and buttery malt greets you, followed by juicy red fruits, spiced honey, and hints of sweetly cured meat. Taking a sip, you're met with the taste of malt bread, caramel, and chocolate raisins, which then develop into floral notes of hibiscus and goji berries. The finish is a delightful blend of pavlova, with heaps of berries and vanilla cream, drizzled with melted chocolate and candied nuts. This single malt spent its final maturation in an oloroso sherry octave cask, allowing for a harmonious union of the creamy Benrinnes spirit with the richness and spice of sherry. The smaller cask size ensures a more intense interaction between the whisky and the wood, resulting in a robust sherry influence that elevates this dram to new heights of indulgence.
