A richly sumptuous single malt, interwoven with mellow smoke and a masterful curation of oak. Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit then four cask matured for at least twenty five years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks, and Madeira Island wine casks. During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak. After twenty-five years, rich layering develops into caramelized smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky is then expertly married together to create a sumptuous single malt, layered with baked fruit, honey malt, and toasted oak spice with a long, rich, caramelized smoke finish.
