Single Malt

7214
A rather old and impressive Benriach, released as part of the 16th batch of single cask releases from the distillery. The peated single malt was distilled back in 1985, and placed straight into a single virgin oak hogshead, cask number 7214. After a whopping 33 years, the cask was cracked open, yielding just 229 bottles at 48.1% ABV, revealing a vibrant, fruity dram.
Salted caramel, oak-spiced orange and smoked mango emerge with toasted pinewood, applewood and lemon peel.
A burst of sweet lemon, honey and grapefruit on the tongue. Guava, passion fruit and lemongrass linger into the long tropical finish.
