This well-aged single malt is crafted from peated spirit aged in a combination of four cask types: sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks, and port casks from the Douro Valley. Over years of maturation, Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and blends with the fruit, malt, and oak. After 30 years, it unveils rich layers of honeyed smoke, further enriched by the complexity and depth imparted through the multi-cask aging process.
