Background & production

The core bottling from Benriach Distillery in Speyside. It brings together whisky matured for at least ten years in three cask types: bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak.

It is presented as the expression of the distillery's layered style — orchard fruit, honeyed malt and toasted oak, interwoven with a subtle trace of smoke. Bottled at 43%.
