Benriach Berry Bros & Rudd - Exceptional Single Cask #46507 Whisky 31 Year Old · 1991 Vintage
In stock
Like a good book, this elegant old Speysider builds with time and grows in character – be prepared to give it a good hour in the glass to open up.
Aromas of banana bread, musty attics, leather and wax blend with fresher fruit notes to create an incredibly deep nose.
This theme continues on the palate, which displays a beautifully aged character, with notes of spiced custard, cardamom fudge. Hints of praline build alongside dried apricot and something pleasingly musty.
Lingering spice and fruit show with an unexpected puff of wood smoke on the back palate. This is a marvellous example of aged Speyside whisky.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights.
Nose
Banana bread, musty attics, leather and wax mingle with bright fruit notes to create a deeply layered, contemplative nose that slowly reveals its elegant, aged character.
Palate
On the palate it unfolds with refined, aged depth: spiced custard and cardamom fudge give way to praline, dried apricot and a touch of mustiness. Lingering spice and fruit persist into a final puff of wood smoke on the back palate, a classic testament to a mature Speyside whisky.
Finish
Lingering spice and fruit dominate the finish, crowned by an unexpected puff of wood smoke on the back palate.
