BENRIACH
1966 Cask Aged 50 Years
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Crafted from one exceptional cask by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, and with just 371 precious bottles available, Benriach 1966 Cask Aged 50 Years is the finest portrayal of Benriach’s signature fruit-laden style, with unrivalled complexity and luxurious refinement.
First filled with unpeated Benriach spirit on the 21s of September 1966, Bourbon cask 2383 was handpicked for its exquisite character, destined to become the oldest remaining vintage and rarest ever example of Benriach.
Following decades of maturation in Benriach’s Speyside warehouses, it emerges as the first Benriach to be bottled at fifty years old.
