Description
Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this whisky is then 'finished' in Dark Rum barrels, sourced from the Caribbean island of Jamaica. During this second period of maturation the whisky derives many interesting characteristics specific to the Dark Rum barrel. The Benriach Dark Rum wood finish is an excellent example of the additional qualities 'finishing' can bring to a malt whisky.
