Benrinnes 15 Year Old 2010 - Christmas 2025
This ultra snazzy, superbly festive single malt from Benrinnes joins our own Master of Malt collection as a cracking Chrimbo special.
In European folklore, it is said that St. Nicholas gives lumps of coal to children on the naughty list, while good children receive presents like toys or candy. Thank goodness we’re all adults on the nice list and get to enjoy whisky instead...
Benrin-nice?
Distilled in 2010, this whisky enjoyed a 15-year stay in a single oloroso sherry hogshead, yielding just 406 bottles when we cracked it open for a special celebration of Christmas 2025. Laden with rich layers of cocoa, marmalade, and spice, it’ll be an ideal whisky for sipping on Christmas Day. Will you get one for yourself, or treat someone special to this splendidly seasonal limited edition Speyside?
Tasting Notes
Nose
Toffee pennies, vanilla shortbread, rice pudding, and custard, with toasted marzipan, sweet oak, and candied orange peels in tow.
Palate
Silky sweet, with syrupy, spongy sticky toffee pudding and Werther's Originals, followed by honeyed prunes, candied almonds, and robust, toasty oak.
Finish
Milk chocolate, thick-cut marmalade, and festive spices wrap things up, with lingering layers of cinnamon, cocoa, and orange peels.
