Benriach Single Cask #541 Whisky 38 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with burnished copper highlights and a whisper of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Opulent vanilla and honeyed oak frame ripe pear and baked apple, with orange zest and almond lending brightness. A syrupy toffee sweetness threads through subtle spice, resting on polished bourbon-cask wood and a quiet, venerable elegance from decades of maturation.

Palate

Benriach delivers a luxurious, full-bodied palate with satin texture and concentrated richness. Vanilla and toffee ride the bourbon-cask backbone, married to dried figs, apricots, and raisins, punctuated by citrus zest and subtle spice. Rich oak notes entwine with toasted almond, a whisper of ginger, and a faint smoke, finishing long, warm, and impeccably refined at cask strength.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with satin vanilla and toasted oak, carrying caramel and orchard fruit. Spices—ginger and white pepper—emerge briefly before a warm, lingering sweetness of honeyed notes. Subtle cocoa and dried fruit drift in as the oak softens, leaving an elegant, refined afterglow.
