Informations: This bottling of a 31-year-old Benriach single malt was produced by the independent bottler Elixir Distillers in collaboration with Lexi Livingstone Burgess in the Macbeth Collection called Menteith in the Thanes Series, with illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake. The whisky was distilled in 1992, matured in refill ex-bourbon hogsheads and was bottled in 650 bottles in 2023.

Distillery: BenRiach: Benriach is a distillery near Elgin, Scotland, which was built in 1898 by John Duff. However, the distillery had to remain closed from 1900 to 1965 before it was reopened by Glenlivet Distillers. Between 1983 and 1996, unusually peaty whisky was produced, intended for blends. But even after that, it did not rest until it was taken over by Billy Walker, Geoff Bell and Wayne Keiswetter in 2004. Today it belongs to the Brown-Forman group.
Region: Speyside: The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.

Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Country: Scotland: Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.

Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.

Condition: Please look very carefully at all the pictures, especially the labels and pack, and satisfy yourself as to their condition before bidding.
