Benrinnes Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 11y 2010
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | Scotland / Highland-Speyside |
Description
This full-bodied whisky comes from the Benrinnes distillery in the Speyside region, which was founded back in 1826. Matured for 11 years in Pauillac Bordeaux red wine casks, this single malt exudes aromas reminiscent of fresh biscuit dough, along with cinnamon sticks, vanilla, red berries and a hint of red pepper. The palate reflects these notes, paired with a spicy oak note, white chocolate, allspice, orange oil, stewed apple and toffee chip cookies. The long and warming finish is flavourful with hints of oak and a touch of heather honey. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
Scotland
Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
