Chorlton Whisky - Benrinnes 23 Year Old 1997 Joint Bottling with The Rare Malt

Benrinnes whisky, it sounds an unfamiliar name but in fact it was operating since 1826 and now it is a member of Diageo. Benrinnes is indeed uncommonly seen in market, except for Flora and Fauna Series and very rare Diageo Special Release, if any, only few from Independent Bottlers. Though Benrinnes is being said “uncommon”, its complicate partial triple distillation was well-known in the whisky industry. Unfortunately Benrinnes ceased this special process in 2007 and thereafter it resumed to ordinary double distillation.

Here is a golden opportunity for our whisky fellows that we are lucky enough to taste this rare partial triple distilled Benrinnes whisky – a 23 years old Benrinnes at ABV 56.6% from a single cask with only 232 bottles! This Spring special edition was presented to you by the renowned Independent Bottler Chorlton and The Rare Malt Hong Kong. It was out of stock from Chorlton official site but there are still some few at The Rare Malt Hong Kong! Grab this rare chance, won’t you?
