Description
In 1898, John Duff built the Speyside Distillery, BenRiach.
It is one of the few distilleries with its own on-site floor malting and draws its water from the Burnside Springs.
This exquisite single malt has been crafted from peated spirit and four cask matured for at least thirty years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and port casks from the Douro Valley.
During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak.
After thirty years, rich layering develops into sublime honeyed smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation.
The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create an exquisitely harmonious single malt, layered with dark fruits, rich walnut and velvety oak spice with a long, complex, smoked honey finish.
All in perfect balance.
At Twenty Five Years Benriach begins to take on an enhanced depth of character.
Rich baked fruits, honeyed malt and a caramel smoke finish elevate the sumptuous, rich flavour of this four cask matured expression.
