Benriach Malting Season (First Edition)
This is the first release from Benriach's Malting Season series, which gives light to the distillery's malting floor. For one month each year, the distillery malts its barley by hand on its historic malting floor, and its that barley that has gone on to be used for this very expression. Distilled in November 2012, it was aged in a combination of bourbon and virgin oak casks, and bottled up at 48.7% ABV. A wonderful showcase of traditional whisky production methods.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Pear drops and Campino sweeties, with earthy barley and a smidge of cut oak for balance.
Palate
Vanilla, lemon, grassy malt, toffee, melted butter on crumpets.
Finish
Lasting sweetness of caramel and vanilla pod on the finish.
