1991 Berry Bros. & Rudd Exceptional Casks Benriach, Cask Ref. 46507, Bottled 2023, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (48.3%)

After more than three decades, this Benriach has developed a nose of rosehip, pine forest and various waxes. The palate expands in multiple directions all at once, with bitter-orange thick-cut marmalade, firm plums and almond-topped bakewell tart. A dram like this deserves a bit of time in the glass and a quiet evening of enjoyment. I’ll be giving this both to fully explore the finish of macerated strawberries and thoughtful oak.
