BenRiach Peated Cask Strength Batch 1

Introducing Batch 1 of the first BenRiach Cask Strength Expression.

BenRiach located in the Heartlands of Malt Whisky, displays all the traditional charm of a Speyside distillery. Established in 1898 and built by John Duff, it is one of the few distilleries with its own on-site floor maltings.

Matured in a combination of Oloroso Sherry Casks and Bourbon Barrels.

Tasting notes...
Colour - Bright summer gold.
Nose - Butterscotch drizzled over campfire-roasted apples combined perfectly with crisp white pepper. A gentle, earthy oak character adds to the subtly peated back notes.
Taste - A warm, toasted oak sweetness combines with toffee apples and ripe nectarines. A sweet heather smoke slowly builds leaving a lingering peat note alongside Scottish tablet and rick stewed barley.
