BenRiach 16 Year Old Cape of Storms

PLEASE NOTE THIS BOTTLE DOES NOT COME WITH A BOX.

A very limited BenRiach that was only available in South Africa, originally launched at the Whisky Live Festival 2007. The Cape of Storms limited releases followed the days when whisky was transported as ballast, in ships that travelled to the Cape from the UK and back. This unique shipping experience greatly affected the flavour, with the constant motion of the sea causingmovement of the liquid inside the cask.

Two bottlings were released, a younger 12 year old and this 16 year old. The actual spirit used in the bottling of this 16 year old is widely regarded to be nearer 19 years old, however the later part of the maturation period was in South Africa and cannot be placed legally onto the label. Only 195 bottles of the 16 year old were released, each individually numbered. Bottled at 48%. (Bottle size 750ml)
