"Finishes with all the verve an panache of a whisky half its age. One of the two or three finest 40-year-old or older malts I've reviewed, period"
F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal

BenRiach 30 Year Old

This vatting is 50% Oloroso Sherry (finish) and 50% Gomez Fino (full maturation). Nose: A fantasia of spices, cinnamon, raisins, Demerara sugar and sherry, with dark chocolate and rich oak notes. Color: Rich golden. Palate: Very full-bodied - an avalanche of Oloroso sherry, spices and raisins, laced with Demerara sugar, orange and dark chocolate, and amazingly rich wood notes. 50% ABV

"Deeper and darker in character than the 25 year old with more sherry character. Chewy toffee, nougat, and rum infused with raisin provde the foundation of this whisky. Background notes of cinnamon, baker's chocolate, and a suggestion of wet leather and old parchment add intrigue."

BenRiach 25 Year Old

Vatting in 20% new Scottish oak gives this particular vintage its extraordinary, unique and distinctive character. Nose: Rich honey, spices, apples, and peat, in combination with superb oak-wood notes. Color: Rich golder. Palate: A rich cocktail of honey, Oloroso sherry, cocoa and apples, supported by a fascinating presence of citrus, sweet peat and wonderful wood notes. 50% ABV

92 Points
"Great balance between vibrant oak spice and lush, sherried fruit. Interwoven notes of honeyed malt, vanilla, citrus fruit, milk chocolate, and lingering peat add complexity. Quite large for a BenRiach and very fresh for its age. This whisky takes BenRiach to a higher level."
Malt Advocate, 1st Quarter 2007
