The Benrinnes 1978 GM Oak Cask is a single malt whisky that was distilled on March 27, 1978, and matured for an impressive 43 years in a refill American hogshead before being bottled in December 2021. This exquisite whisky is part of Gordon & MacPhail's esteemed Private Collection. Distilled at the Benrinnes Distillery, situated at the base of the Ben Rinnes peak in Speyside, Scotland, this whisky benefits from the mineral-rich water sourced from the ominous and atmospheric landscape. The Benrinnes Distillery is renowned for its distinctive meaty, copper-influenced flavor profile, heavily influenced by the use of worm tubs to condense the spirit vapors.
The 1978 Benrinnes from Gordon & MacPhail is a remarkable expression, featuring a complex array of flavors including sweet citrus fruits, watermelon, marzipan, charred oak, dried tobacco, bright salted lemon, honeysuckle, pineapple, and dried apricots. The nose presents notes of dried peaches, pineapple, and molasses, while the palate offers sugared almonds, ripe watermelon, and candied citrus peel. The finish is long, showcasing the richness of toasted nuts. With an ABV of 54.5% and limited to just 158 bottles, this rare whisky is highly sought-after and ideal for savoring its warming spicy qualities after dinner.
