This unique single malt whisky from Benriach has been distilled from peated malted barley and has been fully matured in quarter casks.
The BenRiach Peated Quarter Cask single malt is the first product to be launched after the parent company was taken over by Brown Forman at the end of April.
Unusually for a Speyside distillery, this BenRiach expression is distilled from peated malted barley.
The spirit is then matured fully in superlative quarter casks before being bottled at 46% ABV.
A smaller cask, such as the quarter cask, allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a great depth of flavour and aroma in a shorter period of time.
Non chill filtered and with a natural colour, this is an extraordinary, full-flavoured dram.
Nose: Waves of wood smoke slowly intensify throughout the nose to burning heather with a delicious contribution of ripe orchard fruits. Subtle hints of peaches, cinnamon sugar and a slight herbal note of fresh barley give an added contrast to the unique, peaty character.
Palate: More intense smoke mellows to smouldering peat embers infused with pear and nectarine notes. Nutty oak and vanilla pods combine with a touch of white pepper and a twist of lime.
Finish: Crisp and smoky.
