Benriach 21 Years Connoisseurs Choice 1999 G&M 70 cl. 58,5%

This Benriach was distilled in 1999 and then matured for 21 years in refill American Hogshead with the number 29259. The cask, which was bottled on January 18, 2021, still produced 237 bottles. The whiskey has notes of pineapple, vanilla, green apples and orange peel.

Gordon & MacPhail are to the noble single malt what Lennon & McCartney are to pop music. For more than 100 years, they have insisted on jumping over the highest fence. The inherited sense of selecting the absolute best casks from a wide range of distilleries is practiced today as it was 100 years ago. Once the dish is selected, it is transported to G&M’s warehouse in Elgin. Here the cask is looked after and cared for along with thousands of other selected casks until that day in the future, be it five, ten or fifty years down the line, when the whiskey has reached its zenith. Only here are the precious drops bottled.
