Description
The Murray McDavid BENCHMARK Benriach 10 Years Old 2014 is an exciting single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside that develops a particularly spicy, contrasting interplay of flavours thanks to its unusual finish in Koval rye whisky casks. This 10-year-old bottling combines the fruity, elegant character of the Benriach Distillery with the strong, slightly peppery flavour of American rye whisky – a rare cask combination that provides complexity and depth.
Distilled in 2014, bottled at 52.7% vol. at natural cask strength, uncoloured and non-chill-filtered, this bottling stands for unadorned enjoyment and honest craftsmanship. The flavours of the Koval Rye cask from Chicago complement the classic fruity Benriach style with cereal notes, spices and gentle herbal hints, making this edition a real highlight of Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series.
The whisky is delivered in a stylish gift box (UK) – perfect for collectors, whisky fans and explorers in search of exciting cask maturations.
