Description
A malt distillery located outside the village of Portsoy in the eastern Highland region. Part of The Benriach Distillery Company group, it has been owned by the Brown-Foreman Corporation in the US since 2016. Despite a turbulent early history, it has become an well-established brand in recent years. This expression was matured for 39 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in Massandra Aleatico wine casks from the Massandra winery in the Crimea Peninsula. The unique Aleatico wine cask finish has imparted rich and complex flavours and aromas to the whisky, including notes of dark fruits, honey, chocolate, and spices, which are perfectly balanced with the distillery's signature coastal and fruity character.
