- Description
- Benriach's 40-year-old, likely distilled in the mid-1960s, represents a generation of Speyside malts when the distillery still operated traditional peating practices. Tropical fruitiness and chewy peat have emerged over four decades, creating a rich, textured malt with tropical-wood and smoke in equilibrium. At 50% ABV, it possesses depth and complexity without aggressive oak. A reference point for older, characterful Speyside expression.
