About this bottle

Benriach The Forty stands out as one of the oldest peated malt whiskies from a Speyside distillery. Benriach initiated distilling peated spirit in small batches during the 1970s and continues this practice today. Master Blender Rachel Barrie created The Forty by combining casks aged for a minimum of 40 years, utilizing both bourbon and port casks for maturation. It arrived in the US in June 2023. (SRP $4,500)
