*COMPETITION* Benriach 31 Year Old - Shades Of Smoke Whisky Ticket
Our Competitions offer you the chance to win some of the world’s rarest and most exclusive whiskies!
Benriach partnered with generative digital artist Stefano Contiero to create this limited edition single malt – the first in the distillery's Shades of Smoke collection. This Speysider was laid down in spring and summer 1994 – the same year that Benriach leaned into producing higher volumes of its sweeter style of smoky whisky. After a mighty 31-year maturation, this whisky has developed an elegantly indulgent profile, layered with lucious fruit, chocolate, and caramel, with a gentle whisper of sophisticated Speyside smoke.
Contiero was commissioned to create the label and packaging design for this limited release and drew his main inspiration from tasting the whisky alongside master blender Rachel Barrie. He created a generative algorithm, allowing forms and colours to emerge organically, reflecting how a whisky's profile can develop over time.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Bright, sharp yuzu, forest honey sweetness, a delicate curl of juniper smoke, hints of dark chocolate and floral hibiscus. Spiced orange peel and a soft, caramelised edge.
Palate
The chocolate turns silkier here, laced with tangy hibiscus and spiced orange caramel. The smoke builds gently, wild honey and charred mandarin.
Finish
Lemon and ginger, soft peach, and wisps of smoke fade.
