Benrinnes 8 years 2015/2024 Tawny Port Quarter Cask (Claxtons)

This Benrinnes from the Claxtons Exploration Series impressively demonstrates how eight years of maturation in a Tawny Port quarter cask can produce an exceptional single malt. Its honey-colored appearance in the glass hints at its intensive maturation, while the elegant compass design of the label awakens a desire for discovery.

This exceptional Benrinnes combines the sweet richness of Portuguese port wine with the typical character of Speyside. The aroma is dominated by robust port notes with plums in syrup, complemented by juicy figs and a delicate malt sweetness. On the palate, a sweet and juicy flavor unfolds, accompanied by a pronounced oak spice, creating a harmonious balance between dry and sweet nuances. The long finish revives the sweet port notes and is rounded off with a subtle tobacco spice. Bottled at 50% ABV, with natural color and without chill filtration, this whisky presents itself in its purest form.

Distilled on August 6, 2015, at the renowned Benrinnes Distillery and bottled on January 29, 2024, this single malt represents eight years of meticulous maturation. The Tawny Port Quarter Cask imparts its distinctive sweetness and complexity, while the Speyside origin provides an elegant foundation. The Claxtons Exploration Series comprises hand-selected single casks that showcase the terroir and craftsmanship of Scottish distilleries in a truly impressive way.
