Cadenhead
Benriach-Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This bottling offers a fruity and somewhat dessert-rich profile thanks to the Amontillado finish: notes of banana, dates, honey, custard, stone fruit; plus some spice/woody edge (star anise, cinnamon). The higher strength variant will likely feel richer/intense.

• Independent bottler: Being from Cadenhead’s means you’re getting a unique finish/maturation (Amontillado hogsheads) which gives a twist on the usual BenRiach style.

• Age statement at 12 years offers good maturity without being extremely old — gives approachable yet developed character.

• The finish in Amontillado sherry wood adds nutty, dry sherry, and dessert-style complexity which many whisky fans like.

• BenRiach is well regarded for its quality and variety of cask maturations.
