Benriach ‘The Sixteen’ Scotch Whisky

BenRiach The Sixteen is the premium age-stated single malt from BenRiach Distillery in Longmorn, Speyside — 16 years of multi-cask maturation (ex-bourbon American oak, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez casks) producing the most complex and developed expression in the current BenRiach standard range, bottled at 43% ABV.

The Sixteen builds on the multi-cask philosophy that defines the BenRiach range — at 16 years the combined contribution of bourbon, Oloroso, and PX casks has had significant time to integrate, producing a balanced and layered Speyside single malt with both oak-derived vanilla and sherry-derived dried fruit and spice character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does The Sixteen compare to The Twelve?

Four additional years of the same multi-cask (bourbon, Oloroso, PX) maturation produces noticeably more concentration, deeper dried fruit and spice integration, and a longer and more complex finish. The Sixteen is the premium step up in the current BenRiach standard range.

Is BenRiach The Sixteen peated?

No — The Sixteen is an unpeated expression. BenRiach produces both peated (The Smoky Ten, Smoky Twelve) and unpeated expressions. The Sixteen is in the unpeated lineup.
