From Scotland’s Speyside region, this 15-year-old single cask release from Saltire Rare Malt showcases the character of Benrinnes Distillery. Distilled from malted barley and matured in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, Cask #311005 reveals rich aromas of dried fruit, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and polished oak. Bottled at 48% ABV, the whisky carries depth with layers of spice, fig, and sherried sweetness.
Silky yet bold, the palate unfolds with notes of raisin, caramelized sugar, baking spice, and warm toasted wood before finishing long and warming. This rare single malt is best savored neat to appreciate its sherry cask richness, though a few drops of water can open deeper fruit and spice complexity. A memorable Speyside dram crafted for collectors and slow evenings.
