Benriach 17 Year Old Batch 12 Cask #6394

BenRiach 17 Year Old 1998 Vintage, Batch 12 Speyside peated single malt Scotch whisky. Single cask Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon #6394 bottled June 2015. 702 numbered bottles. Benriach John Duff commissioned the Elgin based architect Charles C. Doig to design Benriach Distillery which was duly established in 1898 just south of Elgin and complete with a siding connecting Benriach Distillery directly to the great North of Scotland Railway and the scotch blenders down south. But Benriach Distillery opened just as the whisky bubble burst and was forced to closed in 1900 and remained closed until 1965. Benriach’s maltings did continued to operate but finally closed in 1999. An iconic Scottish malt whisky distillery complete with a Doig pagoda roof over the malt kiln. The Benriach Distillery range includes limited releases of triple distilled, peated and un-peated single malt whiskies. Benriach Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival Nose: Rich sultanas and orchard fruits drizzled with wildflower honey and warmed by red chilli spices. Palate: White pepper and crisp citrus notes soften to plum juice, followed by apple sponge dusted with fresh ground barley.
