Quarter Cask 70cl

To make Benriach Quarter Cask, Benriach spirit is first matured in bourbon barrels then undergoes a second maturation in bespoke quarter casks. These smaller casks allow more interaction between wood and spirit, intensifying maturation for depth and richness of flavour, to create layers of glazed orchard fruit and rich vanilla, finishing with notes of ripe barley and oak spice. All in perfect balance. Benriach Quarter Cask shares the same orchard fruit character as BenRiach 10 but the more dominant use of bourbon creates more rich vanilla notes with nutty oak spice. The intense maturation in quarter casks also brings balanced notes of spiced oak with the rich vanilla. This is the only quarter cask expression currently available permanently in global travel retail. A Speyside single malt Scotch Whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery. Ruggedly beautiful, Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beneath the distillery.
