Benrinnes 2011 Over 10 Y.O. Artist 12th Edition

Artist 12th Edition is part of the renowned Artist series, where whisky meets the language of contemporary art. The illustrated labels echo the character of the spirit, building a bridge between aesthetics and tasting. Each bottle is selected for its aromatic personality and bottled in limited editions for enthusiasts and collectors who see single malt as a cultural object as much as a sensory pleasure.

Benrinnes sits at the foot of the mountain of the same name in Speyside and has a distinctive production history tied to traditional distillation practices. Much of its output has gone into blends, making single cask releases rare and highly appreciated. The spirit is robust and slightly meaty, perfectly suited to intense cask maturation.

Benrinnes 2011 Over 10 Y.O. Artist 12th Edition shows Speysides more structured, meaty side: the nose suggests gravy, stewed fruits, roasted malt and a hint of noble sulphur. The palate is full?bodied and rich, with dark caramel, spice and a very discreet smoky touch. The finish is long, warm and savoury, perfect for those who love food?friendly whiskies with real personality.
