Rest & Be Thankful Benrinnes 2007 12 Year Old Ex-Bourbon Hogshead 56.8% ABV

Benrinnes 2007 12 Year Old from Rest & Be Thankful is an independent bottling of Speyside single malt from the Benrinnes distillery. Distilled in 2007 and matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead, it was bottled after 12 years at 56.8% ABV in 700ml bottles. The bottler takes its name from the Rest and Be Thankful, the steep pass above Glen Croe on Scotland's west coast where 18th-century soldiers building a military road carved those words in stone, and where travellers would stop to rest at the top. The bourbon wood keeps the focus on the distillery's full-bodied spirit.

Serve: Neat, then with a few drops of water.
