- Description
- Benriach's 42-year-old represents remarkable longevity: distilled in September 1971, six years after the distillery reopened, and matured until November 2013. Four decades in wood have concentrated and integrated the Speyside character, yielding a spirit of considerable age and rarity. Bottled as a single cask in limited quantity, this is a collector's dram and a window into Speyside's past.
