- Description
- This 2005 Benriach matured for 17 years in a single bourbon cask, retaining the distillery's elegant, fruity character while the wood imparts vanilla and subtle oak spice. At cask strength, the spirit shows good structure with a dry finish typical of bourbon-aged Speyside. A refined dram for those who value the distillery's core style over heavily sherried influence.
