The ImpEx Collection Benrinnes Distillery 12 yr Single Malt Whiskey 750ml

Bottled at a natural 58.9% ABV from single hogshead cask number 306532, this 12-year Benrinnes captures undiluted Speyside distillery character between its June 2011 extraction and March 2024 release. Sourced exclusively for The ImpEx Collection, the 750ml presentation skips chill-filtration and caramel addition to maintain the spirit’s original viscosity and ester profile.

The tasting trajectory highlights Benrinnes’ signature balance of ripe stone fruit and dry botanicals. Clean aromas of fresh cherry give way to earthy rosemary needles upon initial sniff. A dense, chewy mouthfeel coats the palate, layering concentrated red plum, subtle beeswax, and gentle grain sweetness. The structure holds firm until a crisp exit delivers sharp blood orange zest, effectively cutting through the higher proof and leaving a clean, vibrant sensation.

Selecting a verified single-cask bottling guarantees access to a non-repeatable flavor matrix that blended commercial releases cannot replicate. This expression suits collectors tracking specific cask finishes and enthusiasts who prefer drinking uncut scotch straight from the glass. Keep the bottle upright in a stable temperature environment to protect volatile aromatics from oxidation. Pour neat at room temperature to measure the full aromatic spectrum, or introduce a precise water drop to unlock additional floral terpenes. Includes original manufacturer banding and factory seal.
