Benriach Moscatel Wood Finish 22 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Originally matured in bourbon barrels for over two decades, this Benriach was then finished in ex-Moscatel casks, a naturally sweet wine produced in a similar way to Pedro Ximénez Sherry. While some sweet wood finishes seem to be simply masking blemishes, this one is meant to be a fantastic combination of xBourbon notes and intense dried fruits. An 18 year old release with the same credentials was praised by Jim Murray as a whisky which "...renews and upholds any belief I have for cask finishing. Superb." 46% Alc./Vol.
