About this bottle

The distillery has been introducing various new bottlings and finishes, with the Sauternes finish being part of their "Wood Finish Series." After maturing in traditional American Oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is finished in Sauternes Casks. With a limited production run of approximately 4000 bottles, the BenRiach Sauternes finish has since been discontinued but remains available in several European countries.

Why there's no score

We have 4 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
