BenRiach 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

BenRiach 21 Year Old is a Speyside single malt from the revived BenRiach Distillery in Longmorn — 21 years of maturation drawing on the distillery’s diverse cask program including ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez casks to produce one of the most complex and developed expressions in the current BenRiach range.

BenRiach was founded in 1898, closed for most of the 20th century, and revived in 2004 under new ownership. The distillery is unusual in producing both peated and unpeated expressions and in building one of Speyside’s most diverse cask maturation programs. At 21 years the multi-cask approach has produced a whisky with genuine depth and integration. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
