This 25 year old Benriach was released as part of the distillery's 16th (16th!) batch of single cask releases. After distillation on 27 September 1993, it spent its days in a cask which previously held Rioja wine. Loads of chocolate and dark fruity notes in this one. Once it turned a quarter of a century old, it was finally bottled, with the cask yielding 231 bottles at 54.3% ABV.
Chocolate, toasted hazelnut and cherry cake open to reveal plum, baking spice and burnt vanilla meringue, with a back-note of leather and tobacco leaf.
The bittersweet taste of dark chocolate and blackberry compote lead to smoked plum, black pepper and cherry stone into the firm, fruity finish.
