BenRiach 2005 Aged 12 Years Batch 14 Peated Port Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Cask 2679 (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 53.1% Age: 12 Years Old Country: Scotland
Batch 14 of Benriach’s annual single cask bottlings is here. These were all produced during a three-year period shortly after the distillery was reopened by former owner, Billy Walker in 2003. The Benriach Distillery has since changed hands and is now operated by the spirits powerhouse Brown-Forman. Batch 14 is a smaller release than usual and contains some older malt whisky and some younger whisky. The complete outturn includes 7 whiskies, 5 peated and 2 unpeated single malts, each of which have been fully matured in a single cask – first fill Oloroso sherry butts, port pipes, a first fill virgin oak cask, a first fill marsala hogshead and a Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheon. The official release was August 2017 and we’ve managed to grab a few more bottles to offer our customers. Old style Benriach is almost all gone but here’s a chance to get your hands on one. This is a peated malt, distilled in 2005 and matured in cask #2679, a first-fill Port pipe, for 12 years old before being bottled at natural strength. 53.1% Alc/Vol.
Please note: There was an issue with the sorting of these Batch #14 bottles and tins either from the source or when distributed in Australia and as a result the individual bottle numbers on the tins DO NOT match up with the individual bottle numbers on the bottle labels.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Plump raisins and candied citrus peel, sticky date pudding and black pepper with refined oak.
Palate: Buttery panfried, caramelised orchard fruits, ripe plums and golden syrup, hints of butterscotch and pronounced stem ginger.
Finish: Long with prune syrup and dark fruits.
