- Description
- Distilled in 1976 and aged for 35 years in a hogshead, this peated Benriach from Speyside marries the distillery's lighter touch with smoke and time's patient hand. Mellow peat rises over barley and leather, with the lengthy maturation adding layer and refinement to the peat character. Bottled at cask strength (54.9%), it delivers the full weight of three and a half decades of evolution. For those seeking peat from Scottish uplands rather than coastal extremes—refined and complex.
