The BenRiach 1997 Rum Barrel Cask Edition is a meticulously crafted, limited release whisky. Distilled on June 16, 1997, this remarkable spirit has been aged for 24 years in a single rum barrel before being bottled in 2021. Hand-selected by Master Blender Rachel Barrie for its distinctive taste and character, this exceptional whisky is limited to just 166 bottles, making it a true collector's item. Bottled at a cask strength of 53.6% ABV, this whisky offers an intriguing aroma of golden rum, waxy pineapple, and coconut cream. The palate follows through with notes of apple, raisin, cinnamon, candied lemon, and dark chocolate, resulting in a smooth, rich, and well-rounded finish. This 1997 vintage has been matured in an ex-rum barrel, which adds further depth and complexity to its flavor profile. In addition to the primary tasting notes, the whisky also exhibits a color reminiscent of stained teak wood. On the nose, one can detect crème brûlée, hazelnut coated in chocolate, cherry wood, apple, and dried figs. The palate is enhanced with flavors of cherry and banana parfait, dark chocolate, grilled vanilla, dried apricot, and fresh cream. The finish is warm and long-lasting. As part of the BenRiach Cask Edition series, this whisky stands as a testament to the distillery’s commitment to exceptional quality and unique taste. Each bottle offers a one-of-a-kind whisky experience, perfect for the discerning palate.
