Single Cask Bottling Pedro Ximenez Sherry Finish 1996 Release 18y

About

This 1996 BenRiach is a refined single malt that draws its character from extended maturation in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. With 18 years of aging in oak, this whisky has developed a full, complex personality that balances elegance with depth. The Pedro Ximénez finish imparts rich, sweet notes characteristic of this Spanish sherry style. In the glass, this whisky unfolds gradually, with toffee and vanilla giving way to red fruits such as redcurrants, raisins, and strawberries. The palate offers a full-bodied, dense experience with candied cherries, poached pear in red wine, and hints of toasted bread crust. The finish is earthy and spicy, with lingering vanilla and a pleasant warmth that reflects the richness of the sherry maturation.
