BenRiach 27 Year Old 1987 Vintage, Batch 12 Speyside peated single malt Scotch whisky. Single cask tawney port hogshead #3825 bottled June 2015. 273 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: Crisp, freshly-cut ginger and wild red berries balance with nutty oak spices and sweet ground barley. Palate: Juicy cranberries infused with crisp citrus mellow to roasted red apples dusted with cinnamon and a touch of ground almond.
