BENRIACH - SINGLE MALT - OB - SINGLE CASK BATCH 15 (2018) PORT PIPE #2406

Curated by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, this expression highlights Benriach's versatile unpeated distillate when subjected to a massive, traditional European oak fortified wine vessel. Traditional Port Pipe is a massive cask that can hold up to 550–600 liters of liquid. Because of the sheer volume, evaporation occurs slower, and it requires a high-quality cask to leave a distinct imprint on an 11-year-old spirit.

It opens with aromas of warm raspberry danishes, fresh croissants, and brioche toast. This builds into maple syrup, gingerbread, dark chocolate, maraschino cherries, and a faint hint of overripe banana.
