BenRiach The Sixteen Year Old - 43% 70cl

After sixteen years of maturation, Benriach develops a richly balanced evolution of our signature Speyside style.

Three cask maturation in bourbon, sherry and virgin oak brings layers of stone fruit, smooth creamy malt, wild honey and nutty oak spice.

Rachel Barrie, Master Blender for BenRiach has said the following  

"Our signature Speyside style blossoms at ten years old, finding depth and richer layers of orchard fruit character as it turns sixteen. Our core flavour components of fruit, malt and oak become more concentrated, enriched with age at sixteen years old, bringing layers of stone fruit, smooth creamy malt, wild honey and nutty oak spice.”
