The BenRiach 16yo The Sixteen is a 16-year-old single malt whisky from the iconic Speyside region of Scotland, produced by the distinguished BenRiach distillery. This venerable expression, which had a hiatus due to soaring demand, has triumphantly returned with enhanced richness and complexity. Crafted with meticulous care, the whisky is matured in an exquisite combination of bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks, and bottled at an optimal 43% ABV, maintaining its natural color.
The BenRiach distillery has a storied and tumultuous history. Founded in 1898, it faced an early closure just two years later. The distillery was resurrected in 1965 and saw an expansion from two to four stills in 1985. Despite the closure of its malting floor in 1999, the distillery found new life under Pernod Ricard's ownership in 2001, although production was initially reduced and eventually paused. Since 2004, under the visionary leadership of Master Blender Billy Walker, BenRiach has operated at full capacity once again, even reopening the malting floors. This renaissance has led to numerous accolades and awards for their single malts and blended whiskies.
BenRiach 16yo The Sixteen captivates the senses with its layers of fruit, malt, and oak, which grow more profound and luxurious with each passing year. The bouquet presents enticing aromas of baked apples, hazelnut, and ginger-spiced apricots, seamlessly leading into a palate of stone fruit, nutty oak, and honeyed malt. This whisky is a true testament to the BenRiach distillery's unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
