Maltbarn Benriach 25 Year Old 1995 Sherry Cask 49.1% ABV

Benriach 25 Year Old 1995 is a single cask Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from Benriach Distillery, bottled by the independent bottler Maltbarn as its bottling No. 169. Distilled in 1995, it matured for 25 years in a sherry cask and was bottled in 2020 at 49.1% ABV, with no colouring and no chill filtration. Only 140 bottles were filled. Its pale colour points to a subtler, more nuanced style than the heavy, spice-laden sherry bombs often seen today, the kind of elegance worth seeking out in older whisky. A rare, mature Benriach from a cask that predates the distillery's modern era. 700ml.

Serve: Neat, in a tulip glass; add water sparingly.
