- Description
- Benriach's 25-year-old expression marries peated and unpeated spirit across four cask types—sherry, bourbon, virgin oak, and Madeira—creating unusual complexity (46% ABV). Smoked apricots, dark chocolate-covered cherries, and hazelnut toffee anchor the nose, while the palate unfolds with baked apples, cinnamon, toasted oak, orange, and smoky caramel. The texture is supple and integrated, with smoke and sweetness in equilibrium throughout. A sophisticated dram for those who enjoy gentle smoke enriched by time and cask diversity.
