Our second crop of Pendulum Spirits' Fable single malt whiskies are from the same distilleries as the first batch, which went down a storm earlier in 2021.
As before, this Benrinnes is Chapter Four, representing the Bay in their Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay fable. It's a single cask of Benrinnes 2011, bottled in July 2021 as a 9-year-old from a single hogshead that yielded 291 bottles at a mighty 60.4%

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
