The North Star Benrinnes 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold and characterful independent bottling showcasing the distinctive spirit of Benrinnes Distillery. Matured for 10 years and bottled at a powerful 59.5% ABV, this expression offers whisky enthusiasts an intense interpretation of one of Speyside's lesser-seen single malts.
Selected and bottled by North Star Spirits, an independent bottler based in Glasgow, this Benrinnes highlights the distillery's famously robust style. Benrinnes is particularly prized for its substantial, weighty spirit, which distinguishes it from the lighter and more delicate character commonly associated with Speyside. North Star Spirits was founded in 2016 and has released a number of independently bottled Benrinnes expressions over the years.
At 59.5% ABV, this 10-Year-Old Benrinnes delivers impressive concentration and texture, making it an exciting choice for enthusiasts who enjoy high-strength and cask-driven single malt Scotch whisky.
Rich malt, ripe fruit, warming spice and powerful oak combine to create a full-bodied Speyside experience that can be enjoyed neat or explored with a few drops of water.

A Powerful 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt
While Speyside is often associated with elegant and fruit-forward whisky, Benrinnes offers something distinctly richer and more robust.
This North Star Benrinnes 10 Year Old combines youthful energy with a full decade of oak maturation. Bottling at 59.5% ABV preserves impressive flavour concentration, body and texture.
Expect a bold whisky built around:
- Rich malt sweetness
- Ripe and dried fruits
- Caramel and toffee
- Warming baking spices
- Robust oak
- Full-bodied texture
- Long, powerful finish
Adding a small amount of water may reveal additional layers of fruit, sweetness and spice while softening the natural alcoholic intensity.

Benrinnes & Independent Bottlings
Benrinnes has historically been an important component of blended Scotch whisky, and official single malt bottlings have been relatively limited compared with many other established Speyside distilleries.
As a result, independent bottlers such as North Star Spirits provide enthusiasts with an excellent opportunity to experience Benrinnes in different cask types, ages and bottling strengths.
North Star has previously released a number of Benrinnes whiskies, including 8, 10 and 15-year-old expressions.
