Portrait: What makes the Benriach 2014 100 Proof Edition #47 Signatory Vintage special.

Independent Bottled quality whiskies of appropriate age, high drinking strength, and a fair price - that's the Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition in a nutshell.

What does "100 Proof" mean? A consistently strong 57.1% vol. (the alcohol content at which gunpowder is still ignitable). With each new bottling, the series impressively demonstrates how well power, character, and attractive value can be combined.

The Benriach 2014 100 Proof Edition #47 from Signatory Vintage is a powerful bottling from the traditional Speyside distillery Benriach. Distilled in 2014, still under the direction of renowned whisky maker Billy Walker, this single malt reflects the distillery's experimental approach. Known for its versatility in cask aging and its ability to work with atypical flavor profiles, Benriach has established itself among innovative Scottish distilleries in recent years. For this edition, Signatory selected exclusively First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts to give the whisky additional depth and complexity. Bottled at natural cask strength with 57.1% ABV, without chill filtration or coloring, this single malt is aimed particularly at connoisseurs and purists. Edition #47 belongs to the exclusive "100 Proof" series, which stands for powerful, cask-strength bottlings with a clear character of origin. An exciting whisky for lovers of authentic Speyside malts.
