Founded in 1826, Benrinnes was destroyed following a landslide in 1829 after taking the name Lyne of Rutherie. It was only in 1845 that it permanently recovered its original name. It is one of the few Scottish distilleries to have practised triple distillation, which it did until 2007. A blend of two casks, this bottling perfectly embodies the fruity, spicy and floral style of this particularly elegant single malt. Remarkably complex, it also boasts an exoticism that is never short of fruit and delicious notes of vanilla.

Nose : refined, distinguished. Notes of chalk and coconut milk lend lots of charm to the incredibly mineral initial nose. Allowed to breathe, it develops notes of cut grass, mint and malted barley. Then, with the same elegance, it reveals one by one all of its abundant fruits (lemon, William pear, white peach, pineapple) and very sophisticated spices (cinnamon, grey pepper, pink peppercorn)._x000D_

Palate : lively, resolute. The attack focuses first on citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) which are covered in a thin layer of green liquorice. Then, with lots of sweetness, the mid-palate chooses the language of exoticism (kiwi, passion fruit, banana) before a gentle breeze brings cut hay and sage to the end of the palate._x000D_<br>_x000D_

Overall : long, delicate. Malted and unmalted barley are omnipresent without restricting the gustatory palette. Indeed, the same citrus fruits from the palate, white florals (lilac, lily of the valley) and cocoa beans rival each other in intensity. This stunning ensemble is also wonderfully fresh. The retro-nasal olfaction offers rich notes of vanilla and the empty glass is spicy (ginger, cinnamon)._x000D_
