Benrinnes 21 year old Grand Crescendo SpecialRel. 2024
CHF 420.00
Nose: Sweet and rich, with fruity aromas suggesting baked apple, pear and peach. These are soon joined by a rich caramel note, reminiscent of sweet butterscotch. All these aromas are mellow, round and mouth-watering.
Mouth: Firm and full-bodied, richly fruity from the start, the powerful, fresh taste soon becomes deliciously sweet and salty, with a hint of salt amid the spicy intensity.
Finish: Quite long, it finishes smoothly, dry, slightly spicy and slightly refreshing.
Deep and full-flavored, this mature Benrinnes is a vibrant, opulent dram that offers big waves of rich, fruity flavors while retaining splendid balance and will be enjoyed anytime. Double matured in American and European oak wine casks.
This bottling is dedicated to the Swiss physician, naturalist, humanist, polyhistorian and encyclopedist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565). In his book 'The History of Four Foot Beats and Serpents', Gessner described and drew the mythical animal Seawolf on page 580. The distillery's current logo is taken from Conrad Gessner's notes. A selection of 8 barrels by Alex Polasek.
