Benriach Distillery recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the Benriach Cask Edition. The new addition is the brand's first single cask single malt Scotch whisky botting ever available in the United States. Each of the three whiskies was individual casks selected by Master Blender Rachel Barrie and aim to show the versatility of the distillery's eclectic cask styles.
“Our ‘sleeping beauties’, as we often call these casks, continue to be sourced from all over the world, enabling us to creatively explore the full flavor possibilities of Speyside Single Malt,” said Master Blender Rachel Barrie. “Each cask will tell its own story of a journey of flavor where the spirit is married with oak, over years and through the seasons, to really create a unique moment in time never to be repeated again.”
