Benrinnes 2008 Moscatel Cask Mossburn Distillers and Blenders
This exceptional Speyside single malt from Mossburn was distilled at Benrinnes in 2008 and matured for 14 years, including a finishing period in a Moscatel cask. Bottled at natural cask strength without added color or chill filtration, this whisky showcases Benrinnes' signature full-bodied character, reminiscent of the classic Speyside style. Its inherent robustness makes it particularly well-suited for maturation in fortified wine casks, resulting in a complex yet harmoniously balanced dram.
Benrinnes Distillery
Benrinnes is a Speyside distillery located in Aberlour. The original distillery was founded in 1826 but was destroyed by a flood three years later. It was rebuilt at its current location and operated without major incidents. Like most distilleries in the 19th century, it went through various changes of ownership. When the distillery was damaged by a fire in 1896, it was refurbished and powered by electricity.
The distillery was again rebuilt in 1955 by John Dewar and Sons. Some eleven years later, the production capacity was doubled. In the 1970's the distillery adopted a unique triple distillation method. This distillation method was abandoned in 2007.
The flavours of Benrinnes derive from the distillery's usage of worm tubes to cool the neck of the stills, a short fermentation period of 60 hours and clear wort.
