Benriach The Thirty Speyside Four Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch 700ml
In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky In the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. We therefore have the unique opportunity to be the only distillery in the region offering peated whisky at this age. Benriach Thirty is the only expression in our core range using 100% Highland peat matured whisky. At this age however, the peat has built an aromatic sweet complexity that makes the smoke almost untraceable.
This exquisite single malt has been crafted from peated spirit and four cask matured for at least thirty years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and port casks from the Douro Valley. During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak.After thirty years, rich layering develops into sublime honeyed smoke, further enhanced through multi- layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, Is then expertly married together to create an exquisitely harmonious single malt, layered with dark fruits, rich walnut and velvety oak spice with a long,complex, smoked honey finish. All in perfect balance.
