16-Year-Old Double Cask Matured
40-Year-Old The Forty Drawing upon decades of experience, Benriach’s Master Blender Rachel Barrie has skilfully combined some of their rarest malt to create Benriach The Forty. Fine bourbon casks made from American oak have gradually developed exquisite notes of honeyed pomelo and ripe stone fruits. This intricate character is interwoven with dark notes of chocolate, rich plum, and smooth walnut from port casks sourced from the Douro Valley in Portugal. The result is the ultimate expression of Benriach’s signature, luscious, fruit-laden style.
With the depth and complexity that comes from being matured for 16 years in a combination of American oak casks and the finest sherry butts, this expression’s warm and fruity notes are enriched by an engagingly spicy sweetness.

A’bunadh Alba
30-Year-Old The Thirty ”Benriach digs into the vaults for this rare gem, and it’s a tour de force. The maturity shows at once, with an antique note of well-aged peat char and dark sherried aromas of dried figs and raisins. The palate offers flavors of cooked berries and baked apple, along with candle wax, dark chocolate, and roasted espresso beans. It all finishes with rich chocolate, old spice rack, and a parting note of ashy peat. A complete whisky.”
“Classic style with balanced oak notes on the nose combining with confected red fruits and spice on the palate with sweetness, ending in a liquorice finish. Sweet and spicy with clear wood dominance on the palate; viscous and lush.”
