Benrinnes 1978 G&M Private Collection
Special features: This rare single malt whisky was distilled on March 27, 1978, at the Benrinnes Distillery in the Scottish Speyside and matured for 43 years in a refill American hogshead (cask number 1636). It was bottled on December 30, 2021, by Gordon & MacPhail for the Private Collection series. With a limited edition of only 158 bottles and an alcohol content of 54.5%, this whisky presents itself as a true collector's item.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromas of dried peaches, pineapple, and molasses, accompanied by a hint of smoke and dried beef.
- Palate: Sweet citrus fruits, watermelon, and candied citrus peels, complemented by smoky notes and a touch of lemon and lime.
- Finish: Long finish with tropical fruits, various citrus fruits, smoke, and roasted nuts.
Distillery/Bottler: The Benrinnes Distillery, founded in 1826, is known for its characteristic, meaty, and copper-toned flavor, which arises from the use of worm tubs in the distillation process. Gordon & MacPhail, a traditional bottler since 1895, is known for selecting and bottling exceptional whiskies, particularly from lesser-known or closed distilleries.
