Benriach 28 Years Old 1994 Cask Edition Cask Nr.1290

Description

Introducing Benriach 28 Years Old Single Cask Cask 1290, a rare and deeply characterful Speyside single cask release that showcases peated Benriach in an especially mature and complex style. Aged for 28 years in an Oloroso Hogshead and bottled at cask strength of 48.1% ABV, this edition balances smoky depth with spiced elegance and aromatic complexity. Distilled on 15 July 1994, it opens with notes of smoked sandalwood, amber, and patchouli, layered with caramelised wild mountain herbs, baked apple, and cream. On the palate, stewed fruit, wild autumn berries, maple syrup, sarsaparilla, and pine nuts create a rich and unusually nuanced profile. As a hand numbered single cask bottling, Cask 1290 stands for exclusivity, long maturation, and the compelling interplay between peat smoke and Oloroso cask character.
