Benrinnes 11 year Speyside Single Malt 57.1% – Lady of the Glen

Benrinnes 11 Year Old from Lady of the Glen is a powerful and characterful Speyside single malt whisky. This Rare Cask bottling is bottled at full cask strength of 57.1%, giving an intense and authentic experience in the glass. Only 292 bottles have been released, making this edition a sought-after whisky for collectors and passionate whisky lovers alike.

The Benrinnes distillery is known for a robust and rich style. The distillate often has a deep malt character with nutty and slightly spicy nuances. In this version, the whisky is first aged in a refill hogshead. This provides a solid base for the distillate’s character to develop.

After the first maturation, the whisky is finished in a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask from the renowned sherry house AJ Hidalgo. This final maturation has lasted more than 18 months. The sherry cask adds depth, sweetness and complex layers of nuts and darker fruit notes.

The combination of Benrinnes’ powerful distillate and the rich Oloroso cask creates a whisky with both structure and elegance. The high alcohol content provides a concentrated flavor experience. At the same time, it emphasizes the whisky’s natural oily texture and deep complexity.

The whisky is bottled without cold filtration and without added color. This ensures that all natural aromas and flavors are retained. A few drops of water can open up even more layers of sweetness, nuts and spices. The result is a whisky that develops beautifully in the glass.

Lady of the Glen is known for small and carefully selected bottlings. The series focuses on casks with distinct character and personality. This Benrinnes 11 year is a strong example of that approach. This is a Speyside single malt with power, depth and elegance.
