Benriach Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #121 Whisky 17 Year Old · 2005 Vintage
In stock
This 17-year-old Benriach was matured in a refill American hogshead, allowing the distillery’s fruity, honeyed spirit to shine with clarity. Bottled at cask strength, it offers a balanced profile of stone fruit, vanilla, gentle spice and soft oak, underpinned by Benriach’s signature orchard sweetness. Natural colour and un-chillfiltered, it’s a refined, focused single cask that reflects Gordon & MacPhail’s century-long expertise in maturation and distillery partnerships.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright pale gold with honeyed warmth and a subtle sunlit amber edge.
Nose
Stone fruits take the lead, bright and sunlit, with honeyed sweetness and vanilla cream. Gentle spice—cinnamon and white pepper—rises over soft oak, while Benriach’s orchard sweetness threads through the aroma, clean and focused in its cask-strength, single-cask clarity.
Palate
At cask strength, it feels bright and focused, delivering ripe stone fruits—peach and plum—into a honeyed, orchard-sweet core. Vanilla coats the mid-palate with a gentle spice—cinnamon, white pepper—while soft oak provides a cushioned backbone. The finish is warm and persistent, balanced by subtle tannins and an elegant, lingering sweetness.
Finish
Long, warm finish with orchard-fruit sweetness and honeyed stone fruit lingering on the palate. Vanilla and gentle spice thread through, while soft oak adds a supple, resinous edge. At cask strength the finish carries a refined, persistent warmth that slowly fades to a delicate, fruity glow.
