Benriach The Sixteen

Description After sixteen years of maturation, Benriach develops a richly balanced evolution of our signature Speyside style. Three cask maturation in bourbon, sherry and virgin oak brings layers of stone fruit, smooth creamy malt, wild honey and nutty oak spice. COLOUR: Bronze NOSE: Baked apple and creamy hazelnut malt with overtones of ginger-spiced apricot and honey TASTE: Spiced stewed apple, stone fruit and mellow nutty oak, with honeyed malt and candied peel SMOKE LEVEL: Trace “Our signature Speyside style blossoms at ten years old, finding depth and richer layers of orchard fruit character as it turns sixteen. Our core flavour components of fruit, malt and oak become more concentrated, enriched with age at sixteen years old, bringing layers of stone fruit, smooth creamy malt, wild honey and nutty oak spice.” – Master Blender, Rachel Barrie
