Every phase of the whisky-making process at BenRiach is uniquely designed to deliver a multifaceted and characterful Single Malt that distinguishes the brand. The distinctive Four Water Mash and the slow and deliberate distillation style prepare a high-quality spirit ready to absorb the various flavors from the diverse selection of casks. These casks, sourced from around the world and brought back to Speyside, allow Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie to create and produce flavor possibilities like no other. Discover how we craft BenRiach; a rare gem of a Speyside Single Malt. The BenRiach 21-Year-Old Temporis, bottled in 2018, is a testament to the expertise and innovation inherent in the BenRiach distillery. With an ABV of 46%, this whisky offers a complex and layered experience. On the nose, you are greeted with dates, walnuts, and marzipan, accompanied by a finely integrated mild smoke. The taste is a symphony of nutty and spicy notes, with mild oak, orange peel, dark chocolate, and a hint of cherry spreading across the palate. The finish is tender, round, and soft, with a pleasantly mild spiciness, hints of sherry, and port wine. This whisky entices you to savor more. While some may find it lacks the complexity and balance expected from a whisky of its age, the four-cask maturation creates a unique mix of flavors. The smoke is very noticeable, with a strong honey sweetness and a sour note that becomes more balanced with warmth. Expect a medium-long finish with elements of smoke, light acidity, and remnants of burnt herbs. The 21-Year-Old Temporis is an easy-to-enjoy dram with a very strong smoky aroma, reminiscent of burnt oak and matured ash, complemented by deep sweetness and fruity notes like pineapple and citrus. The taste combines sweet and oily beginnings with dark smoke, sweet ashes, and malty sweetness, all balanced with toasted oak. The finish is long, with toasted pinewood and prolonged smokiness.
BenRiach 21-Year-Old Temporis stands out due to its unique Four Water Mash and slow distillation process, along with its four-cask maturation, offering a rare and multifaceted flavor profile.
