Benriach Malting Season Second Edition

Every year during 'Malting Season' their dedicated team of craftspeople malt barley onsite the old way, using this historic floor maltings. The malt produced during their 'Malting Season' results in a rounded and creamy single malt of exceptional richness of character, a tribute to their founder and the slow craft of his historic maltings, which their team continue to this day, in pursuit of exceptional flavour.

The second edition of 'Malting Season' is crafted entirely onsite beginning with the hand malting of the concerto barley in their traditional floor maltings and finishing with slow maturation in first fill bourbon casks in their earthen floored dunnage warehouses. The result is an extraordinarily smooth single malt, richly creamy with layers of roasted malt and barley sweetness.
