5. Benriach
21-Year-Old The Twenty One
This exquisite single malt has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and four cask matured for at least twenty one years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks, and Bordeaux red wine casks. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create a rich and elegant single malt, layered with lush orchard fruit and toasted pine wood with a honey smoke finish.

6. Benromach
Contrasts: Virgin Oak Benromach Contrasts showcases this rich single malt matured in cask types unusual for the distillery. In this case, the finest virgin American oak casks for ten years. It is quite sweet, with vanilla, hints of coconut, citrus zest, and green apple, followed by hints of ginger biscuits and white pepper. The finish is quite long and spicy, with fresh lemon notes and butterscotch.
7. Benromach 1982 Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection This Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Benromach, bottled just shy of 40 years, was matured 19 years in a sherry cask before finishing for a further 20 years in a Burgundy hogshead. At 60.2% ABV, it has held its strength unusually well. The Benromach Burgundy bottles are a testament to Gordon & MacPhail’s peerless maturation programs, not just for the boldness of flavour carried perfectly at high strength, but the balance between the original distillate and red wine maturation, which has not overwhelmed the final product.
