WHISKYLAND CHAPTER FOUR BENRIACH 33 YEAR OLD

This is a single, refill sherry hogshead of Benriach 1991, aged for 33 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 55.9%.

One of Whiskyland’s most sparse and haunting landscapes is the Plainoak Desert. Many wanderers have lost their minds staring into the vast, fathomless bungholes that dot this stark tundra.

If you venture into the Plainoak Desert, be sure to bring the following kit:

4 pipettes, a broad variety of tasting glasses lashed about your neck with lanyards, dram tokens from Whisky Festivals gone by that you can cast into the depths of the bung holes in a vague hope of shattering their psychic grasp upon your feeble mind, a teaspoon, unread of copies of Whisky Magazine from the early 2000s, a pair of rugged canvas sandals and two bottles of this Benriach 1991 for company – ideally three!

A 33 year old Benriach fully matured in a refill sherry hogshead and bottled at a very healthy cask strength of 55.9%. This is also a relatively low outturn cask with a yeild of just 118 bottles, which has resulted in a beautifully concentrated and syrupy whisky with a layered, complex fruity profile. One for hardcore Benriach fans that lust for this distillery’s notorious fruitiness.
