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.
A richly sumptuous single malt, interwoven with mellow smoke and a masterful curation of oak.
Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and four cask matured for at least twenty five years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and Madeira Island wine casks.
During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak.
After twenty-five years, rich layering develops into caramelised 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 a sumptuous single malt, layered with baked fruit, honey malt and toasted oak spice with a long, rich, caramelised smoke finish.
All in perfect balance.
The Thirty has an incredible intensity of flavour but also exceptional refinement.
The deepest, richest expression of Benriach on every level.
