Distiller Notes
Benriach has a selection of exceptional Speyside single malt, dating back to 1966. In their warehouses lies one of the most eclectic selection of casks in Scotland. Their "sleeping beauties," as they often call them, continue to be sourced from all over the world, enabling them to creatively explore the full flavor of possibilities of Speyside single malt.
While this exceptional inventory allows Benriach to create expressions with a rich marriage of different cask types in their core range, they also reserve some of their most individual and unique cask types tor the Cask Edition Collection. Released periodically, each Cask Edition is hand selected by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie to celebrate a different facet of Benriach's fruit laden character.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
