Benrinnes 12 Year Old - Forgotten Gems
Benrinnes
Tasting Notes
This Benrinnes 12 Year Old single malt is a delightful gem unearthed by the Forgotten Gems crew. Crafted from a first-fill PX Octave, it offers a captivating nostalgia trip with its aromas of cotton candy, toasted marshmallows, and buttery shortbread. As you sip, it transports you to a summer day with poached berries, rhubarb candies, and gingersnap biscuits, before unveiling a layer of oak. On the palate, it delights with the flavors of fresh bread dough, honeyed crumpets, vanilla cream, and white chocolate, complemented by estery fruit notes of banana. The finish is remarkably mellow yet characterful, with creamy malt, poached plum, tangy raspberry, and a rich, dry oakiness that lingers without spiciness. This limited edition of only 12 bottles is a true forgotten gem that whisky enthusiasts will treasure.
