Around 75% of a whisky’s flavour will develop from the cask so the team source exceptional casks from the very best vineyards, bodegas and whiskey-makers across Europe and America. Using the very best wood balances the natural character and slowly develops into extraordinary spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Art of Maturation. This is inspired Scotch whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenrinnes is known for its rich, robust spirit which makes it particularly well suited to maturation in rich fortified-wine casks, where the influence of the wood can add depth without overwhelming the underlying spirit. For this single-cask release, Murray McDavid has paired 16-year-old Benrinnes with a Murça Tawny Port cask, sourced from Caves de Murça in Portugal. The Tawny Port influence brings an additional dimension of rich fruit, sweetness and spice to the hearty Benrinnes spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: Red berries, chocolate, fruit and nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Honey, cherry, floral, dark liquorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Long, Turkish Delight, mellow clove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murray McDavid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56376691360123,"sku":"W-MCD-15","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6249\/9116\/files\/benrinnes-16-murray-mcdavid-benchmark-single-malt-whisky-70cl-849.webp?v=1786810498","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyroom.scot\/en-spirits\/products\/benrinnes-16-murray-mcdavid-benchmark-single-malt-whisky-70cl","provider":"The Whisky Room Scotland | Specialist Scottish Spirits \u0026 Cigar Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
