- Description
- A rare 1976 vintage from Benriach aged for 30 years in a Port Pipe, bottled at cask strength (55.5%) from a single cask. The port influence lends an unusual richness: exotic fruit characters—dried apricots and figs—dance alongside restrained peat smoke, with the cask adding depth and colour. The texture is silky and full, with a long, warming finish that blends smoke with wine-soaked sweetness. For those with patience for rare finds and appreciation for how wine casks can elevate peated spirit.
