Benriach Malting Season First Edition

Benriach Malting Season First Edition hails from a Speyside distillery with a rich history, founded in 1897 and revived after decades of quietude. This expression celebrates the traditional art of floor malting, a process integral to the whisky’s remarkably smooth and sweet character. Matured in a combination of bourbon and virgin oak casks, it offers a complex profile with notes hinting at honeyed sweetness and subtle spice. Bottled in 2021 at 48.7% ABV, this release showcases Benriach’s dedication to both peated and unpeated styles, delivering a uniquely rewarding dram.
