Benriach
Quarter Cask ClassicBeskrivning
Taking the sweet barley and fruit-laden BenRiach spirit, we’ve matured it in a combination of first and second fill bourbon casks. It is further enriched with contrasting spicy oak notes, through an extended maturation in quarter casks. Smaller casks allow for more interaction between the wood and spirit, intensifying maturation and lending the whisky a rich depth of flavour and aroma.
Producent
In the spirit of our intrepid founding father, John Duff, who ventured to Kentucky and South Africa in pursuit of whisky adventures in the late 1880s, BenRiach is known for its bold approach to whisky making; being the first to distill Speyside whiskies from both peated and unpeated malted barley. Thanks to this pioneering, ‘dual distilling’ heritage, BenRiach enjoys the oldest collection of rare, peated vintages in Speyside and offers a uniquely balanced range of peated and unpeated malts. Peated BenRiach is a return to the original character of Speyside malts in the 19th Century.BenRiach is one of just two remaining Speyside distilleries to seasonally produce whisky using malted barley from its own traditional floor maltings. As well as honouring ancient whisky making traditions, we constantly seek new ways to delight drinkers, drawing inspiration from around the world
