Benrinnes 2016 Murray McDavid - 55,2%
Some bottlings immediately tell a story of distant places and bold collaborations, and this 9-year-old Benrinnes is a prime example of a successful transatlantic dialogue. When time-honoured Scottish distilling meets the innovative power of a Chicago craft distillery, the result is a single malt that goes far beyond the ordinary.

Product information "Benrinnes 2016 Murray McDavid - 55,2%"
Distilled in the heart of Speyside in 2016, this whisky spent the last four years of its nine-year maturation in the distinctive 110-litre casks of the Koval Distillery. Thanks to their smaller volume, these compact American oak casks ensure a more intense interaction between wood and spirit, giving the classic Benrinnes character a whole new dimension. Completed in 2026 by the independent bottler Murray McDavid, the edition is part of the renowned Cask Partnership Series, which focuses squarely on the art of cask maturation.
Shimmering in a warm ochre hue, the single malt unfolds a bouquet of dried pineapple and delicate citrus oils that immediately appeals to the nose. The palate reveals a remarkable balance between a creamy nutty sweetness and the powerful structure of 55.2% ABV, which carries the body without dominating it. The finish is full of character, with a spicy, peppery note accompanied by elegant lingering fruit.
Limited to just 1,249 bottles, this unfiltered whisky with no added colouring is aimed at connoisseurs looking for authenticity and character. The label design with its striking city skyline underlines the origin of the casks and makes the bottle a collector's piece visually, too. Due to the high strength, we recommend trying this Benrinnes from the Koval bourbon cask neat first, then exploring its layered aromas step by step with a few drops of water.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose presents a concentrated combination of dried pineapple and essential citrus oils, elegantly underlined by hints of pastry and malt.
Palate: A smooth structure on the palate, in which strong roasted notes of mixed nuts combine with a deep, malty core character.
Finish: The finale is marked by a distinctive peppery spice that fades harmoniously with subtly lingering fruit notes.
