Master of Malt Darkness! Benrinnes 15 year old PX Cask Finish, 53.5%

Another Benrinnes from the UK bottler's new range, here the finish is more forceful, with masses of raisined sweetness, blueberry syrup, and molasses. The Benrinnes character adds weight and a firm earthy base, but this is more cask driven, slightly grippy, and for all the richness of the PX cask, the end result is a little bitter because of the treacle/molasses note. Fun certainly, but a bit over the top.£60/500 ml
