A 35 Year Old, 1978 vintage whisky release by Benriach as part of their 10th batch of single casks.
This one has been finished in a Moscatel cask before being bottled in June 2013, for an interesting fruity element.
Only a limited amount of 253 bottles were produced at natural cask strength, meaning the whisky retains original taste, aroma and colouring.
Lashings of huge, aged oak spices soften and combine with green pears and red grape skins in the unique, lingering finish.
Whiskeybase has scored this BenRiach 35 Year Old 1978 (Cask 1047) Moscatel Finish Whisky 89.69/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations.
One customer has described this BenRiach taste as ‘Refreshing and floral, tastes of Moscatel now, some dried grapes.’
