Adelphi BenRiach 1990

This item is archived.

This single cask of BenRiach was unusually mautred in a ex-wine cask from South Africa, estimated to be 300L. The whisky is 23 years of age and was 52.9% at the time of bottling. KWM is only getting 6 bottles! 

Producer's Description: "A dry nose, almost meaty (pork crackling), becoming more Marsala like. Jaffacakes, Black Forest Gâteau, chocolate ice cream and coffee grounds - all synonymous with long, sherried maturation. It starts relatively closed then develops huge complexity, now with Brazil nuts coated in dark chocolate, molasses, saddle soap and old leather bags. Incredibly viscous to taste, with a spicy mouth feel, gently drying over a palate of chocolate bonbons, toffee sauce (possibly slightly burnt), and a hint of brandy snaps. A very rare and unique single cask whisky ideal for after dinner contemplation."
