Benriach 12Y (Oloroso Sherry) – 55.7%
This Benriach bottling, has been bottled after 12 years in casks in Scotland – as before bottling, it has had a 6-month finish, in a 2nd Fill Oloroso Sherry Octave cask (approx. 50L). We have previously bottled from the original cask (Refill Hogshead) which was a Cask Share cask (#046) where we have stored some of the whisky in 3 Octave casks – this is the first one we are bottling.
With ONLY 67 bottles of this Benriach, it is a limited edition 🤩
| Tasting notes before finishing in the Oloroso Sherry cask | ||
| Nose | : | In the nose flowers (roses) appear first. Fresh fruits, fresh grains and vanilla |
| Palate | : | The taste starts out a little sharp, but after some time in the glass the sharpness disappears. Honey, caramel, chocolate, herbs and pepper together with malt |
| Finish | : | Medium aftertaste. Green citrus fruits, chocolate, herbs, a little pepper and vanilla |
NOTE! we have bottled this 12-year-old Benriach, which has finished in an Oloroso Sherry cask, for the Whisky Fair in Kolding (Denmark) on March 4th 2023 – which is why it has been released on this day.
