Benriach Port Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 22 Year Old · 1984 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm ruby-tinged glow.

Nose

Powerfully peated, finished in port, this nose fuses embered smoke with lush red-fruit depth: cherry, blackberry, fig and raisin. Beneath, vanilla, cocoa, and toasted oak mingle with a touch of leather and spice, while a warm port sweetness lingers, promising a luxurious, full-bodied palate.

Palate

Powerfully peated, this Benriach carries a bold smoke that is brightened by a Port-cask sweetness. Red-berry jam, fig and raisin unfold with roasted almond and dark chocolate, while vanilla and spice thread through warm oak. The mouthfeel is velvety and full, finishing long with port-driven fruit, smoky sweetness, and a refined, lingering heat.

Finish

Port-cask finish coats the palate in opulent dark fruit—cherry, fig and raisin—with a kiss of cocoa and spice. A subtle peat thread bleeds through the sweetness, leading to a long, warm, velvety finale underscored by oak.
