A sherried Benrinnes, independently bottled by the ever-wonderful Douglas Laing. This whisky was distilled in September 2003 and left to mature in a refill sherry butt for 15 years, before being bottled in September 2018. 359 bottles were produced for the Old Particular range.
Chocolate mousse, raisin, cooked fruit, cedar.
Five-spice, flamed orange peel, caramelised dates and pecan.
Soft oak spices and mocha.
A lovely 15 year old. The 48% ABV gives it a punch. Strong raisin on the nose. The whisky burn has some length, blending in with rich oranges and raisins and a hint of spice, not overbearing. A dose of oak in an overall balanced ending. A notch up from quality 12Y, 40% Speysiders
