Description
Whiskey: The BenRiach Dark Rum Wood Finish 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch
After initial maturation in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, this 15yo Benriach is transferred for a finishing period in casks that formerly housed dark Jamaican rum, adding an extra layer of sweet, fruity flavours to the excellent distillery profile.
Size: 750ML
Proof: 92 (46% ABV)
Age: 15 Year
Origin: Scotland
Distillery: BenRiach Distillery
Despite its light yellow color, this single malt whiskey (part of BenRiach’s “Wood Finish Series”) spends 15 years in a barrel — matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks, this single malt from BenRiach is then finished in casks from the Jamaica, previously used to mature Dark Rum.
