The Murray McDavid Benchmark Benriach 10 Years Old 2014 is an exciting single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, which develops a particularly spicy, contrasting array of aromas thanks to its unusual finish in Koval rye whisky casks. This 10-year-old expression combines the fruity, elegant character of the Benriach Distillery with the robust, slightly peppery notes of American rye whisky – a rare cask combination that lends the whisky complexity and depth.

Distilled in 2014, bottled at 52.7 % ABV at natural cask strength, uncoloured and non-chill-filtered, this bottling epitomises unadulterated enjoyment and genuine craftsmanship. The aromas of the Koval rye cask from Chicago complement the classically fruity Benriach style with notes of grain, spices and subtle herbal hints, making this edition a real highlight of Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series.

The whisky is presented in a stylish gift box (GB) – perfect for collectors, whisky enthusiasts and explorers seeking exciting cask-finished whiskies.
