Product Description

One of Speyside’s great distilleries, Benriach has made fruity and elegant whiskies like this one since the late-19th century. We selected this single cask to include in our twelve-bottle series, The Seasons, for its summery notes of mango sticky rice, vanilla ice cream, warm toffee and a touch of smoke. A great dram to enjoy by the sea, or at any time when you need a taste of summer.

Tasting Notes

Dawn Davies MW, The Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  Vanilla ice cream and wafers with baked orchard fruits, orange and a hint of honey.
- Palate
  Notes of mango, caramel, toffee and lots of juicy fruit.

Speyside is a natural place to start if you’re looking for big, fruity flavours but this Benriach is a particularly good example of that style of whisky. It has abounding juicy tropical fruit notes that have developed in the fifteen years spent maturing in a hogshead – a cask slightly larger than the standard barrel. This balance between cask influence and spirit character was exactly what we were looking for in a full-flavoured whisky that’s perfect to pour on a summer’s evening.

To represent the flavours and feelings of summer in our limited-edition series, The Seasons, we have paired this Ardmore with a juicy Benriach and a bright, fresh single malt from a mystery Lowland distillery. These will be joined in turn by bottlings that embody the flavours of autumn, winter and spring – making for 12 in total. Each one will come from a single cask, presented unfiltered and without any added colouring, to make sure the essential character of the whisky really shines.
