The Murray McDavid BENCHMARK Benriach 10 Years Old 2014 is an exciting single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside. Its unusual finish in Koval Rye Whiskey Casks creates a particularly spicy, contrasting interplay of aromas. This 10-year-old bottling combines the fruity, elegant character of the Benriach Distillery with the robust, slightly peppery note of American rye whiskey—a rare cask combination that provides complexity and depth. Distilled in 2014, bottled at 52.7% ABV at natural cask strength, uncolored, and unchill-filtered, this bottling represents unadulterated enjoyment and honest craftsmanship. The aromas of the Koval Rye cask from Chicago complement the classic fruity Benriach style with grain notes, spices, and gentle herbal hints, making this edition a true highlight of Murray McDavid's Benchmark series. The whisky is delivered in a stylish gift box (UK) – perfect for collectors, whisky fans, and explorers looking for exciting cask maturations. Tasting notes: Color: Light gold with an amber shimmer.
