Not as glamorous as GlenDronach's sherry-matured whiskies, nor as fascinating as Glenglassaugh's funky spirit and coastal location, I never really gave much attention to that other former Billy Walker distillery.
Should've posted this yesterday, since that was my actual birthday. Anyway, here's belated birthday post on a BenRiach from Liquid Sun. Distilled in 1985, which is (you guessed it) my birth year.
This triple distilled BenRiach went into the cask over 17 years ago, and was bottled earlier this year specially for The Whisky Exchange, but not before it was finished in a Pedro Ximenex sherry puncheon.
I'm curious to see what Glenglassaugh spirit evolves into after ten or twelve years. Since we'll have to wait another five or six years before that happens, here is an old era Glenglassaugh from 1978.
