Description
Crafted by Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, from casks laid down at Benriach in the spring and summer of 1994 when there was an unusual abundance of peated spirit being produced at the Speyside distillery. This release, Shades of Smoke Edition No. 1, draws on five distinct cask types: bourbon, Pedro Ximénez sherry, Oloroso sherry, Marsala wine, and virgin oak.
Bottled at 48.1% ABV, the 31-year-old expression delivers a complex profile of yuzu, forest honey, juniper smoke, dark chocolate, hibiscus, spiced orange caramel, and charred mandarin, with a remarkable smoky finish.
