Description
The Benriach 21 Years Old Four-Cask Maturation is an outstanding single malt Scotch whisky that impressively reflects the skill and innovation of the Benriach Distillery. Matured over two decades, this whisky develops a remarkable depth and complexity, which is further enhanced by the exceptional maturation process. It matured in four different types of cask – bourbon casks, sherry casks, wine casks and fresh oak casks. This multi-layered maturation gives it an impressive variety of flavours, in which fruity, spicy and sweet notes come together in perfect harmony. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., it retains its natural intensity while still offering a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel.
The Benriach distillery, known for its willingness to experiment and its unique style, creates a multi-faceted pleasure experience with this 21-year-old whisky. The interplay of the four cask types creates an elegant balance between ripe fruit, creamy vanilla, roasted nuts and a fine, subtle smokiness. The natural colouring and bottling without chill-filtration make this whisky particularly authentic and unadulterated. The elegant gift box emphasises its exclusivity and makes it an ideal gift for whisky connoisseurs and collectors.
