Benrinnes 13 Year Old 2006 (Master of Malt)
This single malt from Benrinnes spent 13 years maturing, beginning in a refill hogshead and finishing charming little Pedro Ximénez sherry octaves. These tiny casks are marvellous things, their small size allows greater interaction between the spirit and the wood, so you can expect plenty of sweet, fruity sherry influence here. We selected this one for our exclusive Master of Malt collection, releasing a total of 156 bottles, without added colour or chill filtration.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich layers of chocolate and honeyed nuts, with maple pastries, and hints of coffee grounds in tow.
Palate
Stewed plums join honeyed flapjack, drizzled with chocolate, while spiced pears and silky butterscotch balance gentle woody spice.
Finish
A waft of delicate smoke drifts in for the finish, with lingering syrupy sweetness and rich, sherried oak.
