It's dark. It's intense. It's heavily-sherried Benrinnes the way it probably should be.

Decadent Drinks: Warehouse records indicate that this particular hogshead of Benrinnes matured "normally" for approximately the first decade of its life. After that, things took a turn. The liquid began darkening at an alarming rate. Nearby casks reported a noticeable increase in brooding atmosphere. One refill butt claims it heard distant music that sounded suspiciously like The Cure echoing through the dunnage during late evenings. By year fifteen the hogshead had reportedly started wearing eyeliner. By year twenty it refused to participate in routine warehouse rotations, insisting that “no one understands me” and requesting that all interactions occur under low candlelight. When approached by staff for a sample, the cask allegedly responded: “IT’S NOT A PHASE.” Concerned warehouse workers reluctantly extracted a sample anyway. The result was deeply unsettling. 28 years later the whisky that emerged was almost black. Thick with dates, figs and molasses. Pipe tobacco, old Armagnac, dark fruit pastes and strange savoury broths layered with bitter herbs and ancient spice. This was not simply a sherry cask. This was a cathedral-level sherry situation. The sort of whisky that feels like it should be consumed while reading tragic poetry beside a thunderstorm. We bottled it immediately before it could start a band. Whether this hogshead will eventually grow out of its goth phase remains unclear. Frankly, we hope it doesn’t.

Around 1974, the distillery began a partial triple distillation process, but abandoned triple distillation in favour of traditional double distillation using two wash stills and four spirit stills in 2007. Consequently, this whisky from 1997 is triple distilled. Benrinnes uses worm tubs.

Нос	89	Here are certainly some nice dark fruits, but it is also floral. There are flowers blossoming in some front gardens at the moment; it smells like a rich, sweet, nectar-like floral blend. The aroma closely resembles jasmine tinged with vanilla, balanced by bright citrus nuances and a deep, warm honey undertone. This famously heady aroma often evokes nostalgic feelings of warm summer evenings. The flower is called honeysuckle. There are chocolaty notes, but not overly dark. There is a jam-like quality, perhaps raspberry or other dark berries. It is not as dense as the colouring suggests. Interestingly, there are some vegetal notes, such as courgette. Cucumber? Paprika? There are hints of leather and tobacco.
Вкус	88	Juicy and fruity, but not dark fruits as one might expect. It's reminiscent of old, dense cider, young rum, old tequila and medium-aged armagnac. It reminds me of a red wine, perhaps a Pinot Noir or a young Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Финиш	89	Not as long as one would expect for a whisky of that age. There are some sweet and sour sensations, such as orange zest and orange juice. There are cherry notes, but not the sour ones. Be careful when drinking it; if you take a sip the wrong way, the alcohol burns unexpectedly. An unidentifiable juice aroma lingers.

From the bottler's shop: Some drams are born decadent, some mature to achieve decadence, and some have decadence re-racked upon them! Well, this 1997, 28 year old Benrinnes, which has fully matured in a hyperactive first fill sherry hogshead before being bottled at natural cask strength, is surely a fusion of those first two routes to decadence. For, decadent it undoubtedly is! A sultry, frankly ridiculous sherry bomb that is bloated with fruits, tobaccos, spices and generally 'dark matter'. You've already decided whether to buy one...
