Benrinnes 2002 Whiskytrail Knights – 54,6%

With The Whisky Trail, the independent bottler Elixir Distillers brings together casks that take connoisseurs off the beaten whisky track. As part of the trail, only whiskies with outstanding characteristics are bottled. Or chivalrous, as in the current Knights series. The four single casks show their best side in keeping with their status: neither chill-filtered nor coloured, but instead eye-catching and full of strength and flavour.
The Benrinnes 2002/2022 is a table of character for the Speyside distillery: after 20 years of maturation, it combines rich, heavy and creamy notes of chocolate, buttered popcorn, biscuits and subtle orange.
