Benriach Peated Tawny Port Single Cask #5462 Whisky 39 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Dense tawny amber with a warm copper-gold glow and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Peat smoke threads through luscious tawny-port sweetness, releasing dried fig, plum and raisin with bright orange zest. Layered with toffee, dark chocolate and toasted almond, it carries vanilla oak, leather spice and a whisper of ash. Opulent, coastal and impeccably refined, the nose hints at century-spanning maturity and a lingering, luxurious warmth.

Palate

On the palate, a velvet tide of peat and smoke is wrapped in tawny port sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and date mingle with orange zest, toffee and dark chocolate, while nutmeg and clove bring warming spice. Velvety oak coats the mouth, revealing a long, refined finish of smoke, porty fruit and gentle sweetness that lingers with elegant resilience.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish threads peat smoke through a dusky tawny port sweetness. Dried plum, fig and caramel linger, with vanilla, dark chocolate and toasted oak unfolding softly. A warming spice carries the aroma to a velvety, enduring finish.
