A 2010 Benrinnes aged in one of their custom made double oak casks. In the case of this Benrinnes, they’ve paired it with Madeira, a sweet wine from Portugal.

Much of the spirit from Benrinnes distilleries ends up in Diageo’s blends. So this single malt, is somewhat of a rarity. And paired with the Madeira, it’s rather intriguing.

Cask number: SC3A

#4 in Scotland

Tasting notes

Firkin Ten: Benrinnes 2010 Madeira Tasting notes:

Nose: Partially caramelized red orchard apples. Vanilla custard pastries accompanied by a latte. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg with an underlying cereal note.
Palate: A medium mouthfeel presenting more of those orchard apples, along with peaches. Pain au raisin sits beside thick-cut lemon and orange marmalade on the breakfast table. Creamy milk chocolate. An abundance of spice, yet bright and warming rather than hot.
Finish: A medium to long finish. The spiced orange marmalade lingers, inviting another sip.
