Benrinnes 2013 10 Year Old, Dram Mor Single Cask #300745
Benrinnes sits peacefully on the lower slopes of Beinn Ruaidhneis in the heart of Speyside, just a short trip from Dufftown. Throughout its history Benrinnes has been known for producing spirits for blending and, as such, it has never been a notable brand in its own right. However, as independent bottlers, Dram Mor are able to show us just how good a dram Benrinnes really is. Signature Benrinnes showcases fresh dough, toffee chip biscuit and floral notes.
Cask Type: Refill Bourbon Hogshead
Bottles: 278
Colour: Rose gold
Nose: Very light sandalwood, gentle hints of exotic incense, intense spirits and very subtle oak.
Palate: So full on the tongue, sweet and hot at the same time. Caramelised vanilla and white chocolate with white pepper spice from white oak. Tannins, tannins and more tannins with a bright spot that feels effervescent.
Finish: Roasted apples, honeydew melon, white pepper and a vague suggestion of Szechuan pepper well married to sweet bourbon tones. Full length finish which goes on and on.
