Benriach 1994/2022 - 27 Jahre Oloroso Sherry Puncheon No. 2057 Cask Edition 53% Vol. 0,7l

Distilled in 1994, this single malt is the witness of a period when only the malting areas were active during the long closure of the distillery (1900-1965), thus providing its neighbor, Longmorn. Today, this rare and precious whisky evokes the quintessence of Speyside, with earthy, smokey and salty shades that recall the great classics like Laphroaig.

On the nose, a concentrated richness emerges, revealing notes of truffle, earth and ginger, mixed with a fruity sweetness of plum, apple and quince. With aeration, chocolate, oily and smoked aromas develop, accompanied by medicinal and exotic touches of pineapple, banana and passion.

On the palate, a texture that is both creamy and mineral accommodates a fruity sweetness of pear and acacia, combined with animal notes, peat and smoke. Accents of incense, tobacco and delicacy enrich this taste palette, offering a unique sensory experience.

The finish, long and silky, reveals a perfect balance between medicinal peat and fresh fruity, gradually evolving towards empyrumatic flavors of fireplace and soot, with refreshing vegetable notes in retro-olfaction. Even empty glass reveals a fascinating complexity, between malty, camphor and gourmet notes.

This Benriach 1994 Single Cask is much more than a whisky, it is a real time travel in the golden age of Scotch whisky, offering an unforgettable tasting experience for the most demanding connoisseurs.
