Benriach 16 rides a new wave of success
[Don't miss our exceptionally-priced Highland Park offer, below]
Reintroduced in 2023, this delicious cornerstone bottling of Benriach 16 heralds the return of a king to the Brown-Forman owned Scottish distillery
No one can quite explain why Benriach 16 was discontinued suddenly in 2016. It was hugely popular, consistently award-winning and sat at the centre of a stellar lineup of aged single malts. Its removal left a significant gap in the core range that sat perfectly between the 12- and 21-year-old releases.
Luckily, though, the bridge between these bottles has been restored. Benriach’s owner, Brown-Forman, reintroduced the terrific 16-year-old with aplomb in 2023.
Our single cask Highland Park 18 is an exemplary bottle, and one of only 515 created in an exclusive collaboration between Highland Park Distillery and the Single Malt Shop. Distilled in 2002, it was matured in a refill butt and bottled in 2021 at 57.4% ABV.
This release elevates the already globally recognised Highland Park 18 to new heights, with its maturation in a hand-selected cask chosen to amplify and perfect the signature flavour of the Highland Park range.
Now, in an incredible celebration of Highland Park’s work, and for a limited time, everyone who buys the single cask release at its new price will also receive a core bottling of the distillery’s 18-year-old.
