Benriach 1977-2014 | 37 Year Old | Single Cask 1891 | Batch 11Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl 43. 2% A 37 year old, 1977 Benriach finished in a dark rum barrel. The inherently tropical exuberance of late 1970s Benriach works spectacularly with the medicinal spiciness of dark rum so this should be quite something special. Another rather stunning entry at the top end of batch 11.

Pre-Owned Yes

dark raisins and hints of yellow pear that holds a robust peat reek

a refill American Hogshead that yielded just 52 bottles at 48

Cask number 238 of Benriach 1966 yielded only 62 bottles and is truly a piece of the distillery's history

Finish: Long

This Spirit Of Scotland bottling is a minor peaty masterpiece

fruity and complex this looks like one of the best value bottlings in the whole of the batch 11 releases
