Benrinnes
Tasting Notes
This vibrant golden dram captivates the senses with a delightful symphony of aromas – dried pineapples, hints of furniture wax, and the refreshing notes of green herbs dance on the nose. As it caresses the palate, an oily and waxy texture unveils a fruity medley of orange, papaya, and guava, tantalizing the taste buds. The finish lingers, fruity and delectably drying, leaving an indelible mark on the memory. Benrinnes 40 Year Old 1979 - Old & Rare Platinum is a testament to the art of patient maturation, having spent an incredible four decades in slumber within a single cask. Distilled in 1979 and bottled in 2019 by Hunter Laing, this remarkable expression yielded a mere 208 bottles at a cask strength of 42.1% ABV, making it a true gem for the discerning whisky enthusiast.
