Tasting Notes
Imagine a symphony of flavors orchestrated by the artisans at Benriach Distillery. The Malting Season (First Edition) whisky is a captivating expression that pays homage to the age-old practice of hand-malting barley on the historic malting floor. With each sip, you're transported to a world where tradition meets innovation. The nose greets you with a delightful medley of pear drops, earthy barley, and a subtle hint of oakiness, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. On the palate, vanilla and lemon notes intermingle with grassy malt and toffee, creating a harmonious dance of flavors. As the melted butter on crumpets lingers, you're left with a lasting sweetness of caramel and vanilla pod on the finish, reminiscent of a warm embrace. This whisky is a true celebration of Benriach's commitment to traditional whisky production methods, meticulously distilled in November 2012 and aged in a combination of bourbon and virgin oak casks, before being bottled at a robust 48.7% ABV.
