Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

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.

Benriach
(ben-REE-ach) Benriach was founded in 1898 by John Duff beside Longmorn, south of Elgin in Speyside. It opened during the late Victorian whisky boom but was forced to stop distilling in 1900 after the Pattison Crash, leaving the site silent for decades while its floor maltings continued to supply neighbouring Longmorn. Production finally resumed in 1965, bringing Benriach back after one of the longest silent periods in Speyside.
