Benriach's new 16-year-old single malt is like a warm hug in a glass. Smooth, rich, and full of flavor, this whiskey is a true delight for the senses. 🥃
, in the same year that The Sixteen was retired . The distillery was founded in 1898, but has changed hands many times over the years. There were long periods where no whisky was being produced there, or just in very limited amounts—from 1900 to 1965 Benriach functioned mainly as malting house, and distilling was halted again in the early 2000s for a few years.
After a seven-year absence, The Sixteen is a welcome return to the distillery’s redesigned and revamped core range. Master blender Rachel Barrie came up with the cask makeup for the whisky, a combination of bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak barrels. “Our signature Speyside style blossoms at ten years old, finding depth and richer layers of orchard fruit character as it turns 16,” she said in a statement.
The Sixteen is bottled at 43 percent ABV, and perhaps it would be nice to try it at the 46 percent at which many of the other expressions are bottled. No matter, this is a fantastic single malt that sits in that sweet maturation pocket, balancing the younger, crisp, citrus notes of a younger whisky with the introduction of more oak and tropical fruit influence.
