Cadenhead Small Batch Benrinnes 18Y 57.5

This item is archived.

One of the big beasts of Speyside. And I mean that not necessarily as relates to production numbers, but the style of whisky produced at Benrinnes. Highly coveted by blenders, the malt that comes from Benrinnes is big, bold and often referred to as meaty. It's a textural whisky, to be sure, but it's also incredibly complex and weighty. This 18 year old Cadenhead Small Batch release, a marriage of four ex-Bourbon Barrels, packs a hefty punch at 57.5% abv. 

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Rich and fruity, figs, white chocolate, raspberries, mango and a touch of pineapple cake.

Palate: Old School fruitiness, tropical fruits with a slight earth edge. Peaches, passion fruit, lychee and apricots with creamy yoghurt and vanilla custard.

Finish: Long, slightly drying and then growing syrupy fruity notes.
