Benrinnes – 11 Year Old 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts Finish (70cl, 50.8%)

This Benrinnes single malt was distilled on 22 April 2015 and bottled in April 2026 at 11 years old. It was finished in four first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, numbered 1, 2, 3 and 6, then combined by Signatory Vintage for The Monuments of Scotland series. It is bottled at 50.8%, non-chill filtered and with no added colour. The edition is dedicated to the Tomnaverie Stone Circle and is presented in an Ibisco decanter; the series returned after a four-year pause. The profile combines ripe dried fruits, toffee, caramel, brown sugar and dark chocolate, with sherry spices and oak. The long finish brings fruity sweetness, dry oak and nutty depth. On the nose it is powerful and layered, with dark sweetness and freshly baked spice cake over a savoury depth. The palate is full-bodied and characterful, with dark sweetness and spicy spice-cake notes over a savoury base.
