Strap in. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Speyside sipper—this is a full-throttle flavour flight, courtesy of the whisky renegade himself, Alistair Walker. Part of the ever-intriguing Infrequent Flyers series, this 2011 vintage BenRiach has spent 13 years coming into its own, with a final flourish in a Madeira wine cask that’s taken things to dangerously delicious heights.
Madeira cask finishes aren’t just a gimmick—they're a flavour revelation. In this dram, you get the zesty brightness of BenRiach’s signature distillate crashing into the rich, sun-baked sweetness of fortified wine. The result? A whisky that swings from bright citrus to sticky toffee pudding with a cheeky wink and a velvet glide.
Bottled at a cask strength 57% ABV, this single cask pulls no punches. Non-chill filtered, no added colour—just pure, unadulterated whisky geek joy. Every drop is loaded with character: think ripe peaches drizzled in honey, toasted almonds, orange zest and a whisper of old wood. It’s indulgent, playful, and fiercely moreish.
With only 311 bottles in existence, Infrequent Flyers BenRiach 13 year old Madeira Finish 2011 is a collector’s dream and a drinker’s delight. It's not just a whisky—it’s a moment bottled. The kind you break out when the night is going too well to call it quits.
Nose: Fresh apricots, orange peel, and honeyed almonds lead the charge. Behind that? Toasted brioche, golden raisins, and a soft hint of marmalade on warm buttered toast.
Palate: Zesty yet rich. Think candied citrus, baked peaches, and vanilla crème brûlée, all wrapped up in subtle spice and oak. That Madeira influence adds a vibrant wine-like sweetness without ever overwhelming the spirit.
Finish: Bright and balanced. A gentle fade of orchard fruit, nutmeg, and a whisper of dry oak. Elegant, clean, and dangerously moreish.
