BenRiach 1994 Single Cask Cask #1858 Pedro Ximenez Puncheon Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery. Ruggedly beautiful, Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beneath the distillery. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky; classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled, together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, their whisky makers are able to explore the full flavour possibilities of single malt, creating some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside.

A 27-year-old lightly peated, single PX sherry cask released as part of BenRiach's Batch 18 single cask series. Distilled 30/05/1994, PX butt #1858 yielded 645 bottles at 54%. It was bottled 2021 as a 27-year-old.
