Released as part of the 17th Batch of drams from Alistair Walker and the Infrequent Flyers, this single cask Benriach was distilled in 2011 and matured in cask for 13 years. Finished in a Madeira hogshead, 311 bottles only from cask #2376, filled at 57.0% vol. The nose on this sounds tremendous, 'ripe tropical fruits - peaches, with hints of pineapple and banana. Toasted oak and subtle marzipan'.
