Benriach 25 Year Old Batch 12 Cask #4936

BenRiach 25 Year Old 1990 Vintage, Batch 12 Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. Single cask bourbon barrel #4936 bottled June 2015. 196 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: Vibrant, floral oak and luscious apricot syrup add a contrast to the rich warmth of toasted black peppercorns. Palate: Crisp green apple skins, gentle toffee and vanilla combine with stewed orchard fruits and peppery oak spice.
