One of just 3000 bottles from the 1st ever edition of BenRiach 30 years old, released in 2006, this truly is a rarity – a real collector’s item!
Produced in the traditional style, this whisky is non chill filtered, and is bottled at natural colour and at 50% alc.vol.
Benriach Distillery if found in Longmorn, Morayshire, just outside of Elgin. Benriach was founded by John Duff & Co in 1898 but was quickly sold on in 1899 to Longmorn Distilleries Co. The distillery was mothballed in 1903 and did not reopen until 1965 when new owners, The Glenlivet Distillers Ltd, bought the distillery. Benriach decommissioned their malting’s in 1999. Now the current owners, Benriach Distillery Company Ltd, have decided to produce part of their requirement of malt at the distillery again. This is great news as there are only about six distilleries still doing some of their own malting. This is fantastic as it will allow more people to witness this great process. Benriach has 4 stills, 2 wash and 2 spirit stills. They produce around 2,800,000 litres of spirit a year.
Nose: A fantasia of spices, cinnamon, raisins, Demerara sugar and sherry, with dark chocolate and rich oak notes.
Colour: Rich golden.
Taste: Very full-bodied - an avalanche of Oloroso sherry, spices and raisins, laced with Demerara sugar, orange and dark chocolate, with amazingly rich wood notes.
