Adelphi Selection Benrinnes 14 Year Old – 2026
A Speyside Single Malt full of character from Benrinnes, selected and bottled by the independent bottler Adelphi. This 14-year-old whisky matured entirely in a refill Oloroso sherry butt, allowing the robust and rich Benrinnes spirit ample room to develop.
The result is a powerful, full-bodied, and layered whisky in which dark fruit, chocolate, nuts, and warm spices come together beautifully. The refill sherry cask maturation adds depth and complexity without overpowering the distillery's character.
Bottled at an impressive 58.3% cask strength and drawn from a single cask, this is a quintessential Benrinnes for the enthusiast of rich, robust, and complex Speyside whiskies.
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber, with a warm copper glow.
Nose
Rich and alluring. Juicy blueberries and dark fruit are complemented by treacle toffee, strawberry laces, and a hint of red wine. Notes of walnut, orange peel, and polished wood emerge next, with a gentle spiciness in the background.
Palate
Full-bodied, powerful, and rich in texture. Dark berries and blackberry pastry are followed by dark caramel, nutmeg, and chocolate. Biscoff and malty cocoa notes provide delicious sweet depth, while orange peel, fresh mint, and spicy oak offer balance.
Finish
Long, warm, and layered. Dark berries, chocolate, and warm spices linger on the palate. Walnut, orange, and spicy oak create a beautiful, slowly fading finish. Character
