- Description
- BenRiach distilled this spirit in August 1991 and finished it in Burgundy cask, marrying Speyside's fruity, floral base with wine-cask influence that adds dried cherry, leather, and subtle tannin structure. The 24-year maturation in ex-bourbon prior to the wine finish creates depth and integration, balancing fruit, spice, and wood complexity. From 265 bottles, this suits those seeking the elegant intersection of Speyside character and wine cask refinement.
