Benriach Peated Cask Strength Batch 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
A new release for 2017 and a peated version of the Benriach cask strength that was one of the best releases of 2016 and now sold out.
Another superb Benriach release aged in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks, if you enjoyed the Birnie Moss intensely peated release you will love this 56% cask strength release as well.
Grab it before it goes the way of the non-peated release as this is a limited batch and not part of the core range.
