- Description
- BenRiach's 1993 distillation aged 23 years in Madeira casks represents a rare exploration of wine-cask influence on Speyside character, with only 552 bottles released as a distillery exclusive. Madeira's oxidative maturation imparts rich, dried-fruit complexity and warming spice to the spirit, while the cask's influence creates layers of toffee, marmalade, and subtle wood tannins. The texture is full and syrupy, with a long, warming finish that lingers with dried stone fruits and oak. A collector's piece for those seeking Speyside single malts shaped by unconventional cask finishes.
