Benrinnes 2012-2021 | 8 Year Old North Star Spirits

Speyside Single Malt Whisky
Bottled By North Star Spirits 70cl / 51%

Benrinnes is one of Diageo's Speyside workhorses, making a particularly gutsy spirit that often shows earthy, meaty notes and is therefore well-suited to sherry maturation where required.

This 8-year-old North Star Spirits Benrinnes is sherried too, coming from an Oloroso sherry barrique that yielded 214 bottles at 51%, and with those stats there's every reason to expect that this will be a delightful dram.
