- Description
- BenRiach's 22-year foundation in American bourbon barrels was extended through a finishing period in Jamaican dark rum casks, introducing tropical and molasses notes to the Speyside malt's traditional orchard fruit profile. The interplay between bourbon vanilla, rum spice, and dark fruit creates an unexpectedly complex palate. Bottled without chill filtration at 46% ABV, this rewards both contemplative sipping and mixing.
