Benriach Malting Season 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Includes Branded Glass) 9 Year Old · 2012 Vintage
Out of stock
Benriach is one of just two remaining distilleries in Speyside to distill whisky using malted barley from its own floor maltings, celebrating a tradition which started when the distillery was first founded by John Duff in 1898.
Compromised of just 23 barrels, only 6672 bottles have been made. With a beautiful barley gold Cask-imported colour, it is matured in bourbon and American Virgin Oak Casks. This gives a luxuriously nutty dram. With a phenomenal richness of character, this dram is a tribute to Benriach's founder and the slow craft of his historic maltings, all in the pursuit of exceptional flavour.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Barley gold with a warm honey glow and subtle amber accents.
Nose
Floor-malted barley leads the aroma—biscuity, malt-forward with a delicate honeyed sweetness. Toasted almond and hazelnut mingle with vanilla from bourbon and virgin oak, while wisps of orchard fruit and warm spice add depth, creating a luxuriously nutty, richly inviting nose.
Palate
On the palate, a luxuriously nutty, creamy profile unfolds. Plush vanilla and caramel mingle with toasted almond and hazelnut, lifted by bourbon and American oak spice. Silky, full-bodied texture coats the mouth, finishing with warm oak, nutty sweetness and a touch of vanilla.
Finish
Long, warming finish with a creamy, nutty depth. Toasted hazelnut and vanilla mingle with rich oak and gentle spice, fading into a bright citrus kiss and a honeyed glow that lingers warmly on the tongue.
