Description
BenRiach's 30-year-old peated single malt from 1986, finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, bridges the distillery's dual heritage of smoke and sherry influence across three decades. The extended maturation allows peat smoke to integrate fully with wood spice, while Pedro Ximénez finishing adds rich toffee, dried fruit, and complexity without overshadowing the spirit's foundations. This rare release of 307 bottles combines age, smoke, and sweetness in measured proportion. It suits collectors and experienced drinkers seeking depth and historical provenance.
