At 33 years, this is one of the oldest IBs of BenRiach we have seen in a while. Distilled in 1991 and matured in a refill sherry hogsheads until bottling at 55.9%. 91.5pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is a single, refill sherry hogshead of Benriach 1991, aged for 33 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 55.9%. One of Whiskyland’s most sparse and haunting landscapes is the Plainoak Desert. Many wanderers have lost their minds staring into the vast, fathomless bungholes that dot this stark tundra. If you venture into the Plainoak Desert, be sure to bring the following kit: 4 pipettes, a broad variety of tasting glasses lashed about your neck with lanyards, dram tokens from Whisky Festivals gone by that you can cast into the depths of the bung holes in a vague hope of shattering their psychic grasp upon your feeble mind, a teaspoon, unread of copies of Whisky Magazine from the early 2000s, a pair of rugged canvas sandals and two bottles of this Benriach 1991 for company – ideally three!"
700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: a shimmering mix of green, orchard and yellow fruits, Fruit jams, a few sherry-derived dark fruit notes underneath, spiced marmalades, ales and waxes. Big, complex, terrific whisky that is precisely what we love about age in whisky at its best.
Palate: great power and syrupy concentration of the fruit characteristics, touches of exotic fruits now, along with herbal teas, wood spices, delicate medicinal notes and yet more waxy textures and flavours.
Finish: long on crystalised fruits of many varieties, honeys, waxes, beers and soft cereal and bread richness.

This 1993 vintage Glen Grant is the 3rd release in the Whiskyland series, bottled after 31 years in a Refill Barrel at 52.7%. 89.29pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"This is a single refill barrel of Glen Grant 1993, aged for 31 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 52.7%. Whiskyland is a much-varied world, its landscapes carpeted and patchworked by city metropolis, cave networks, seemingly endless scorches of desert and many shades of forest and jungle.
"Perhaps the most dense and complex of these rich ecosystems are the Dunnage Jungles of Northern Whiskyland. Beneath the impenetrable Excel Spreadsheet Canopy there exists a intricate network of creatures and plant life; the beating heart of Whiskyland and a place that still reveals to us mysteries both beautiful and terrifying...
"Despite many years of research, we still know relatively little about this magical world. Please enjoy this beautiful old refill matured Glen Grant and sip it thoughtfully as you delve into the Dunnage Jungles of Whiskyland..."

Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
31-year-old BenRiach matured in American Oak Refill Hogsheads. You've probably heard us wax poetic about how much we love these types of casks. This BenRiach should be a cracker! 88.7pts on Whiskybase
Producer Note: “For Menteith, a nobleman who marched to oppose Macbeth, we have selected a malt from the ruggedly beautiful Benriach Distillery, which shines bright in various woods. It is a treat to find it so perfectly expressed, aged 31 years, in these high-quality Bourbon barrels: all the hallmarks of a classic fruit-driven, floral Benriach, with rich caramel and cinder (a nod to the dark) delivered by the casks.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 53.1% abv.

The second chapter in the Whiskyland series is a 20 year old Bowmore bottled at 53.3% from a Refill Hogshead originally filled in 2004. 90.08pts Whiskybase & 90pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"This is a single, refill hogshead of 2004, 20 year old Bowmore Islay Single Malt we bottled at natural cask strength. This is a special bottling, 100% of the proceeds will go towards protecting the natural habitat of the Dramblegeek: one of Whiskyland’s most enchanting indigenous species. These creatures have struggled in recent years with the destruction of large swathes of their natural internet habitat, leaving fewer and fewer natural spaces for them to pollinate their often politically incorrect sense of humour. Hopefully, this bottling will sell well, and funds can be directed towards special podcasting and blogging rehabilitation activities which will bring our beloved Dramblegeeks back from the brink... Please buy generously and save the Dramblegeeks!"
