A Timeless Masterpiece. The Benriach 40 Year Old is a pinnacle achievement in the world of single malt whisky. This extraordinary expression represents the culmination of decades of meticulous craftsmanship and the art of cask selection. A symphony of flavours, this whisky is a testament to Benriach's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of taste.
Drawing upon decades of experience, Master Blender Rachel Barrie has skilfully combined some of our rarest malt to create Benriach The Forty. Fine bourbon casks made from American oak have gradually developed exquisite notes of honeyed pomelo and ripe stone fruits. This intricate character is interwoven with dark notes of chocolate, rich plum, and smooth walnut from port casks sourced from the Douro Valley in Portugal. The result is the ultimate expression of our signature, luscious, fruit-laden style.
It is an exceptional opportunity to craft such rare whisky of this age, to express the exquisite nature of Benriach at its peak. At forty years old, Benriach has developed a seamlessly silken fruit and oak complexity, finessed by the fresh Speyside air and enriched by the alluring aromatics of cask maturation age, which I can only describe as the ultimate Speyside delicacy. - Rachel Barrie, Master Blender.
