Benriach Single Cask #2859 Whisky (UK Exclusive) 22 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with mahogany depth and a warm ruby-gold glow.

Nose

An elegant, unabashedly peaty aroma, peat smoke layered with rich sherry sweetness, like fruitcake soaked in spirits. Dried raisins and figs mingle with toffee, vanilla and toasted oak, while a cocoa-dusted spice threads through. A maritime whisper adds lift, promising cask-strength depth and a balanced, richly fruit-forward profile.

Palate

A richly peated palate coats the mouth in oily smoke, tempered by bold sherry sweetness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with treacle, orange zest, and spice, while dark chocolate adds depth. The cask-strength warmth brings peppery bite, leather and cedar, finishing long with peat, espresso, and saline oak.

Finish

Long, peated finish with rich dark sherry, maritime smoke and toasted oak. Peat lingers through fig and raisin, with cocoa and vanilla notes, fading into a warm, smoky afterglow.
