NATURAL CASK-IMPARTED COLOUR | ABV 43% | NON CHILL FILTERED
Although Scotch Whisky is traditionally distilled just twice, in the spirit of our bold distilling tradition, Benriach have been experimenting with a third distillation since 1998, giving the spirit an even more fruity and zesty character. Building on the rich cask maturation profile of Benriach expressions, this rare triple distilled whisky from Speyside has matured for at least ten years in first fill american Bourbon barrels and first fill Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. The bourbon barrels add perfectly balanced notes of vanilla and spice, while the Pedro Ximenez casks contribute to the complexity and richness of this smoothest of Single Malt whiskies.
Tasting Notes
NOSE: Elegant waves of wood smoke intensify to burning heather with a delicious contribution of ripe orchard fruits. Subtle hints of peaches, cinnamon sugar and a slight herbal note of fresh barley give an added contrast to the unique, rich peat character.
COLOUR: Bright summer gold.
PALATE: Intense peat smoke mellows to smouldering peat embers infused with green pear and nectarine notes. Nutty oak and vanilla pods combine with a touch of white pepper and a twist of lime to give a crisp, smoky finish.
