About

Benriach - 2012 Malting Season - First Edition is a remarkable single malt whisky hailing from the Speyside region of Scotland. Distilled at Benriach, one of the last distilleries to practice traditional malting methods on-site, this expression pays homage to the distillery's rich heritage dating back to 1898. With an ABV of 48.70%, this whisky presents a vibrant flavor profile characterized by fresh fruit, vanilla, and honey. The influence of virgin oak casks enhances the sweetness, revealing notes of malt, almond, and hazelnut, complemented by a hint of dried spices. The result is a well-rounded dram that showcases both the craftsmanship of Benriach and the local barley used in its production.
