BENRIACH The Twenty One 21 Year Old

Benriach The Twenty One is an elegant, richly layered 21-year-old Speyside single malt that showcases the distillery’s signature balance of fruit, malt, oak—and an unmistakably refined veil of sweet Speyside smoke. Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit, this expression is four-cask matured for at least 21 years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks, and Bordeaux red wine casks, then expertly married for a harmonious, collector-worthy finish.

As the whisky matures, Benriach’s gentle smoke softens and integrates into the spirit, evolving into a polished honey smoke character. Each cask adds a distinct dimension: bourbon contributes creamy sweetness, sherry layers in rich fruit tones, virgin oak brings structured spice and toasted wood notes, while Bordeaux red wine casks amplify berry and grape character—creating a dram that is both luxurious and expressive.

Bottled at 46% ABV with natural cask-imparted colour, Benriach The Twenty One is ideal for premium gifting, milestone celebrations, and whisky lovers in Malaysia who want mature Speyside complexity with elegant smoke rather than heavy peat.

Serving Suggestion

Enjoy neat for full texture, then add a few drops of water to lift the orchard fruit, soften the oak spice, and broaden the honey-smoke finish.
