About This Whisky
The third annual release of the BenRiach Malting Season celebrates the distillery’s traditional floor maltings, in operation for over 120 years at BenRiach Distillery in Speyside.
This edition was distilled from Concerto barley, hand-malted and distilled during the Autumn of 2012 and 2013, and bottled in 2023.
The whisky was matured in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and virgin oak casks, with an average age of 10 years (combining 9.5- and 10.5-year-old stocks).
Tasting Notes
Nose: Freshly harvested barley and orchard fruit with wild bergamot, pear, and meadowsweet honey layered on gently kilned malt.
Taste: Smooth creamy malt with notes of clementine, floral honey, and gentle barley spice.
Finish: Medium-long finish with apricot, malted almond, and traces of wild cherry.
