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.

Founded back in 1897 by John Duff & Co this well know Speyside distillery was quickly closed and has changed hands numerous times in its lifespan. In 2020 the distillery’s whole core range was replaced with seven new exciting expressions. The owners BenRiach Distillery Company have also proudly reinstated the malting floors for occasional use.
