BENRIACH - SINGLE MALT - OB - SINGLE CASK BATCH 16 (2019) MADEIRA HOGSHEAD #1850

Hand-selected by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this expression showcases the majestic transformation of Benriach’s unpeated, old-school distillate when left to sleep in a premium Madeira Hogshead for nearly three decades. It represents a masterclass in long-term fortified wine maturation.

It opens with massive notes of baked Sicilian oranges, dense treacle toffee, and sweet honeysuckle. As it breathes in the glass, it unfurls complex layers of toasted brioche pastry, freshly roasted espresso beans, and a warm crack of black pepper.
