Benrinnes 100 Proof Edition #56 Signatory Vintage 13 Jaar 2012/2025

This 13-year-old Benrinnes with the bottling number 56 is part of the 100 proof edition from Signatory Vintage. Distilled with little reflux in small intermediate stills at the Speyside distillery, first-fill Oloroso sherry butts were used for the maturation, allowing the distillate to be fully charged with colour and flavour. The term proof is an old unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring so that the casks in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The Benrinnes displays powerful facets of intense dried fruit and spicy depth.
