Tasting Notes

TWB Tasting Notes: Nose: An enticing bouquet of dark fruits—plums, figs, and blackcurrants—melded with notes of rich toffee, honeyed almonds, and a hint of orange peel. Palate: Luxuriously smooth with layers of sherry-infused sweetness, featuring flavors of chocolate-covered cherries, spiced raisins, and toasted hazelnuts. Subtle undertones of vanilla and cinnamon add depth and complexity. Finish: Long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of sweet oak, gentle spice, and a touch of dark chocolate bitterness.

The Distillery

Benrinnes Distillery is a Speyside Scotch whisky gem situated at the foot of Ben Rinnes near Aberlour, drawing its name from the towering mountain that shapes the region’s cool microclimate. Established in the 19th century and now part of the Diageo portfolio, Benrinnes boasts a distinctive partial triple distillation process that imparts its single malts with a rich, meaty character balanced by subtle sweetness. While much of its production contributes to some of Scotland’s most notable blended whiskies, limited single malt releases—including those in Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range and various independent bottlings—showcase the distillery’s robust and complex flavor profile. Ideal for both Speyside whisky enthusiasts and collectors seeking rare expressions, Benrinnes exemplifies the craftsmanship, tradition, and terroir that define this storied region’s global reputation for fine Scotch whisky.
