Benrinnes 2012 13 Year Old Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition #78 is a powerful and full-bodied Speyside single malt that presents the distillery\u2019s robust character in close harmony with intense Oloroso sherry maturation. Benrinnes is known for a heavier and more muscular style than many other Speyside distilleries, often showing a waxy, meaty and deeply malty profile. In this Signatory bottling, that character meets dark fruit, spice, cocoa and rich sherry sweetness from the Oloroso casks, creating a whisky with strength, warmth and clear structure.<\/p>\n
Bottled at 57.1 %, the classic strength of Signatory\u2019s 100 Proof Edition series, the whisky delivers a concentrated and intense expression. The high strength highlights both the depth of the casks and the natural weight of the spirit, while still keeping the whisky balanced. Notes of raisins, dates, figs, cherry, dark chocolate, orange peel, toasted oak and warming spice come through clearly. The sherry casks bring richness and dark fruit, while the Benrinnes spirit adds malty weight, oily texture and a lightly savoury edge that gives the whisky added complexity.<\/p>\n
This is a whisky for drinkers who enjoy bold, sherry-driven Speyside with high intensity and a pronounced cask character. It can be enjoyed neat for maximum impact, while a few drops of water help open further notes of dark fruit, chocolate, nuts and spiced oak.<\/p>\n
About Benrinnes and Signatory Vintage<\/strong><\/p>\n Benrinnes is a Speyside distillery with a distinctive style that often stands apart from the region\u2019s lighter and more fruit-driven expressions. Its whisky traditionally shows a full, robust and textured character, with malty depth, spice and at times an almost meaty or waxy weight. For that reason, Benrinnes works particularly well with sherry casks, where dark fruit and spice meet a spirit with enough power to carry the intensity.<\/p>\n Signatory Vintage is one of Scotland\u2019s most established independent bottlers, known for showcasing individual distilleries through carefully selected casks and small batches. The 100 Proof Edition series focuses on whisky with clear character, high strength and honest presentation, often without chill filtration or added colouring. In Benrinnes 2012 Edition #78, Signatory\u2019s focus on cask character meets a spirit with strong personality from the start, resulting in a dark, powerful and deeply flavourful whisky.<\/p>\n Nose<\/strong> Palate<\/strong> Finish<\/strong> Single Malt Scotch Whisky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":126526,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[984,9247,9521],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-126522","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-whisky-en","product_cat-scotch-whisky","product_cat-single-malt-scotch-whisky","pa_land-scotland","pa_procent-57-1-en","pa_producent-benrinnes-en","pa_region-speyside-en","pa_vintage-2012-en","pa_volume-70-en-2","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/126522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=126522"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=126522"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=126522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The palate is full-bodied, intense and oily, with dark fruit, plums, raisins, chocolate, syrup, toasted malt and spiced oak. The Oloroso casks bring depth and sweetness, while Benrinnes\u2019 robust spirit adds weight, structure and a lightly meaty, malty complexity.<\/p>\n
The finish is long, warm and powerful, with lingering notes of cocoa, oak, dark fruit, orange peel, spice and toasted malt. It closes rich and dry-spiced, balancing sherry sweetness with the weight of the spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
