- Description
- Benriach's 12-year-old from December 2008 was matured in a single cask and independently bottled by Duncan Taylor in March 2021 at full strength, yielding just 304 bottles. The Speyside spirit develops complexity early, balancing orchard fruit with subtle oak and spice across its relatively brief maturation. This cask-strength single works well for those exploring younger, unfiltered expressions from this versatile distillery.
