- Description
- Benriach's seven-year-old finished in an Oloroso sherry octave cask delivers the sherried richness central to the Darkness range, bottled at robust 56.8% ABV. Dark stone fruits, polished leather, and warming spice from the cask integration create a full, concentrated palate with chocolate and dried fig undertones. The texture is thick and coating with a long, complex finish balancing oak tannins and sherry sweetness. A benchmark independently bottled sherried Benriach for those seeking pronounced wood influence.
