This exquisite single malt has been crafted from peated spirit and four cask matured for at least 30 years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks, and port casks from the Douro Valley. During long maturation Benriachs sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt, and oak. After 30 years, rich layering develops into sublime honeyed smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation. They whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavor characteristics, is then expertly married together to create an exquisitely harmonious single malt, layered with dark fruits, rich walnuts, and velvety oak spice with a long, complex, smokey honey finish. All in perfect balance.
