Indulge in the opulence of Benriach 25 Year Old, aptly named “The Twenty Five,” a masterful creation that transcends time. This richly sumptuous single malt is a harmonious blend of unpeated and peated spirits, meticulously matured for a quarter of a century. The alchemy unfolds in four distinct cask types—sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks, and Madeira Island wine casks.
A Journey Through Maturation: Unveiling Complexity
Over the course of twenty-five years, the sweet Speyside smoke of Benriach mellows and entwines with the essence of fruit, malt, and oak. The result is a whiskey of unparalleled depth and complexity.

The culmination of this meticulous craftsmanship is a single malt whiskey where each cask type imparts unique flavor characteristics. Expertly married together by the skilled hands of Benriach’s Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, the Twenty Five is a sensory masterpiece.
