Benrinnes 'Old Malt Cask' 2005 / 14 years old 50%

Benrinnes is very sought after in certain quarters for its heft and complexity. This particular expression is from the very final production years of the older heavy style which ceased in 2007.
Filled from a refill Barrel, this Benrinnes is initially sweet on the nose, with butterscotch, vanilla fudge, and fresh pears.
On the palate the vanilla nose continues, joined by custard and Scottish tablet. The finish is long and succulent.
