Benrinnes 25 Year Old 1997 (cask 19298) - Old Malt Cask (Hunter Laing) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Almond butter, burnt biscuits, caramelised pineapple, and sherried dried fruits.

Palate: Still nutty with notes of praline and oily barley, honeyed flapjack, and vanilla pastries. Fresh apple joins, with a hint of herbacous oak.

Finish: Toasted marzipan, sultanas, and more buttery pastry. Soft butterscotch tames a sprinkling of nutmeg and green peppercorn.

Distillery Information

The original Benrinnes was sited almost a mile south-east of today’s distillery. Built on the Whitehouse Farm in 1826 by Peter McKenzie, the distillery was completely destroyed just three years later, after a great flood laid waste to the buildings. In 1835, a new distillery was built, sited on the side of its namesake, the 840m peak which looms over Speyside. Alongside four other distilleries, Benrinnes draws its water from springs on the mountain, tapping the Rowantree and Scurran Burns. Following a devastating fire at the end of the nineteenth century, BenRinnes was rebuilt, converting to electric power. The distillery has an unusual distillation method; the six stills are used to partially triple-distil the make. Benrinnes made use of a Saladin Box maltings system from 1964. In 1984, it was decommissioned and malt was bought in instead. Despite the long history of Benrinnes, there has only been one official bottling - in 1991 a fifteen year-old was released. Save for a few independent bottlings, the majority of the spirit has been used in blends, notably Johnnie Walker and J&B. Today, single malt whiskies from Benrinnes remain a rare treat. The distillery is currently under Diageo ownership.
