Product Overview
Benriach The Twenty One Four Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky
21 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 92 Proof | 46% ABV | 750mL
Benriach The Twenty One Four Cask Matured is an exceptional 21-year-old Speyside single malt that showcases the distillery's expertise in traditional whisky-making and innovative cask maturation. Crafted using a combination of peated and unpeated spirit, this distinguished expression is matured for at least 21 years across four different cask types: bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks, and Bordeaux red wine casks. Each cask contributes its own distinctive character, creating a beautifully layered whisky with remarkable depth and balance.
Over more than two decades of maturation, Benriach's gentle Speyside smoke gradually integrates with rich fruit, honeyed malt, and toasted oak. The result is an elegant yet complex single malt featuring aromas of orchard apples, berry fruit, wild honey, and oak spice. On the palate, candied grape, rich cocoa, and smoked pine nuts develop into caramelized pear and delicate honey smoke. Bottled at 46% ABV with natural cask-imparted color, The Twenty One is an outstanding choice for experienced Scotch enthusiasts and collectors seeking a refined, age-statement whisky.
