Benriach 15 Year Old Pedro Ximinez Sherry Wood Finish

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%

An old bottle of Benriach's 15-year-old Pedro Ximenez sherry wood finish, a much loved bottling that ran for about a decade from the mid-2000s. The packaging and laser code on this particular bottle suggests it dates from around 2007-8.

These 15-year-old Benriach Pedro Ximenez sherry finishes were bottled in small batches and are well-judged drams, with the sherry adding uncomplicated fruity sweetness to Benriach's classic Speyside character, and at 46% this Benriach is approachable for newbies while retaining enough oomph for more experienced tipplers.
