Benrinnes 1976 vintage Connoisseurs Choice single malt Scocth whisky. Matured in first fill and refill sherry casks. Distilled March 1976 and bottled August 2010 by Gordon& MacPhail. Benrinnes Benrinnes Distillery was established by Peter Mackenzie in 1826 on the north-west shoulder of Ben Rinns Mountain and until the advent of modern road transport systems Benrinnes Distillery was rather isolated.  Only a small percentage of Benrinnes malt whisky is released as Benrinnes single malt including Benrinnes Flora & Fauna. Since 1956 distillation at Benrinnes followed an unusual and complex partial triple distillation process but this was replaced by double distillation around 2010.  Benrinnes Distillery is one of the few Scottish distilleries continuing to cool its spirit in traditional worm tubs and is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Nose: Initial Sherry notes, some hints of rum and raisin emerge. A subtle vanilla note develops with hints of toasted almonds. Palate: Heavy Sherry influences, some nutty overtones. Smooth and mouth warming. Fruity - cooked plums and red berries.
