BENRIACH 16 YEARS OLD
SAUTERNES FINISH



Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this whisky is then 'finished' in Chateau D'Yquem Premire Cru Superior Sauternes wine barrels, sourced from the Bordeaux region of France. During this second period of maturation the whisky interacts with the oak wood and derives a number of additional flavours and aromas specific to the Sauternes barrels.



NOSE
Sultanas, figs, butterscotch.



COLOUR
Rich gold.



TASTE
Rich sweet Sauternes notes married with tropical fruits, melons, toffee, sultanas and butterscotch.
