- Description
- BenRiach's 1990 vintage was aged for 21 years in refill hogshead, bottled in 2012 by Douglas Laing as part of their Old Malt Cask series with 342 bottles released. This Speyside distillery builds biscuity, honeyed notes over time, and 21 years in refill wood allows these characteristics to develop fully without excessive oak dominance. The result is a mature, elegant dram with structure and complexity that suits careful, considered drinking.
