Benrinnes is not a whisky you see often, in fact you would probably know the whisky better from where it is used as a key component - heard of Johnnie Walker?
Yes, Benrinnes is hardly seen bottled as a single malt since it is considered as one of the key essential malts to Diageo, and so most of its output simply goes into the JW blends.
As a result, not too much is known about this mystery whisky's characteristic flavors aside from its usual fruity and spicy notes, and a light to medium-bodied texture.
This Sherry cask matured Benrinnes has all the notes you'd want - good strength, sweet honey, floral notes and Oh! What's this? Bananas? What a pleasant surprise.
This would go great with tea cakes, banana bread and dessert.
