Benrinnes First Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead 13 Years 2011/2024

This Benrinnes was matured for 13 years in a First Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead and is part of the Cask Masters series from the independent bottler Brave New Spirits, in which Single Malts from well-known and popular distilleries are bottled as single casks. A distinction is also made between the Golden Proof, Distiller's Cut and Rare & Exclusive labels. Golden Proof includes single cask bottlings with a focus on first fill casks at low prices, Distiller's Cut focuses on the respective distillery's character, while Rare & Exclusive includes limited bottlings from very rare casks. Sometimes the whiskies are bottled at cask strength, sometimes at the strength that best suits the corresponding bottling. Different cask types and pre-seasoning of the casks ensure a broad spectrum of aromas and flavours to bring the consistently high quality of the Single Malts to the fore. The Benrinnes was awarded the Golden Proof label and bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtering and without the addition of colour.

The Cask Masters series was inspired by Kirigami, a traditional Japanese paper-cutting technique known for its precision and attention to detail. Independent bottler Brave New Spirits uses this concept to symbolise the careful selection process of its 2025 whisky range - from cask selection to bottling.
