“Rich baked fruits, honeyed malt and a caramel smoke finish elevate the sumptuous, rich flavour of this four cask matured expression.”
– Rachel Barrie, Master Blender
A richly sumptuous single malt, interwoven with mellow smoke and a masterful curation of oak. After twenty five years, Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke caramelises and is enhanced by four cask maturation in sherry, bourbon, virgin oak and madeira wine casks. This exceptional single malt will appeal to drinkers of richly matured sherry cask whisky, offering more intriguing layers of flavour with the use of three other cask types and mellow layers of honey malt and caramelised smoke.

Background:
A mellow, smoky 25-year-old single malt from Benriach, made with a combination of peated and un-peated spirit and matured in a combination of sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and Madeira Island wine casks. The result is aromas of smoked apricots, dark chocolate covered cherries and hazelnut toffee that fill the nose, complemented by notes of baked apples, cinnamon, toasted oak, orange and smoky caramel throughout the palate.
