Tasting Notes

This Benriach 26 Year Old 1978 whisky invites you on a delightful journey of flavors. The nose greets you with a delightful sweetness reminiscent of Manuka honey and apricot jam, tantalizing your senses. As you take a sip, the palate reveals a thick, well-balanced sweetness, complemented by exotic fruit notes and a hint of grenadine, creating a delightful medley of flavors akin to boiled sweets. The finish lingers with a creamy, oily texture, revealing nutty undertones and a punchy character that leaves a lasting impression. Distilled in 1978 and matured in an ex-sherry hogshead for 26 years, this vintage release from the Benriach distillery is a true expression of time-honored craftsmanship and the art of whisky-making.
