Description
Benriach's oldest single cask release at 26 years, distilled in January 1991 and matured in a Burgundy barrique before bottling in 2018, yielding just 270 bottles. The extended aging in wine cask imparts deep, layered fruit character with dried stone fruits, oak spice, and wine-soaked complexity throughout. Rich, velvety texture with a long, evolving finish that reveals both the distillery's signature orchard fruit and the burgundy cask's influence. A collectors' piece for those seeking mature Speyside with genuine depth and scarcity.
