- Description
- BenRiach's 18-year single malt, distilled in 1996 and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon, balances the Speyside distillery's underlying elegance with rich, dark sherry influence from its final maturation period. The PX finish brings concentrated raisin, molasses, and dark chocolate notes to the spirit's baseline spice and orchard fruit. The mouthfeel is luxurious and coating, with a long, sweet-savoury finish. Ideal for those valuing aged Speyside refinement enhanced by judicious sherry finishing.
