Benrinnes : 14 Year Old Sherry Butt Rest & Be Thankful 2009

A rare and intense Speyside single malt, enhanced by aging in a sherry cask

Benrinnes, a historic distillery in Speyside

Founded in 1826 by Peter MacKenzie, the Benrinnes distillery is nestled at the foot of Mount Ben Rinnes in the Speyside region of Scotland. Its tumultuous history, marked by reconstructions following floods and a fire, testifies to its resilience. Owned by Diageo since 1925, Benrinnes has distinguished itself by its unique distillation method, practicing partial triple distillation until 2007. Its tubular stills contribute to creating a Scotch whisky with a robust and distinctive character. With an annual production of 2.5 to 3.5 million liters mainly destined for prestigious blends, single malt bottlings remain rare and sought after by connoisseurs.

An exceptional bottling by Rest & Be Thankful

This 14-year-old Benrinnes is the result of careful selection by the independent bottler Rest & Be Thankful, known for its expertise in discovering exceptional casks. Distilled in 2009 and then aged for over 14 years in a carefully selected sherry butt cask, this whisky embodies the excellence of Scottish craftsmanship.

The influence of the sherry cask is decisive in the aromatic profile of this single malt, giving it its generous notes of candied fruit, prunes, and cocoa. Bottled in April 2023, this Scotch whisky fully respects the integrity of the distillate: no coloring has been added, no cold filtration has been practiced, and its alcohol content corresponds to the natural strength of the cask (cask strength).

This limited edition is particularly aimed at whisky enthusiasts in search of authentic and uncompromising expressions. The rarity of this Benrinnes, combined with the exceptional quality of the selected cask, makes it a bottle particularly sought after by collectors and lovers of Scottish single malts.
