Matured in a combination of bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks, Benriach The Twenty One is crafted from both unpeated and peated spirit. After 21 years of ageing, the sweet Speyside smoke softens and integrates beautifully with fruit, oak, and malt to produce a layered and luxurious single malt. Bottled at 46% ABV, it showcases Benriach’s signature multi-cask style with richness, balance, and depth.
