Malting Season is one in a limited-edition annual series from Benriach which celebrates seasonal production techniques done at the distillery. Benriach is one of seven distilleries in Scotland to have a malting floor and this bottling honors that tradition. Master Blender Rachel Barrie selected concerto barley to use here in its production which was malted in autumn 2013. The single malt was aged in first-fill bourbon barrels and was bottled at barrel strength of 48.

Tasting Notes

"The nose has inviting aromas of orange blossom, quince jam, and buttery tea biscuits with a rich layer of vanilla icing. The palate is rich and slightly viscous, reminiscent of butterscotch caramels at first, then takes on more toasty scone notes with a bit of black tea tannic grip, cloves, and a faint bramble florality. The toasty/spicy/orange blossom flavors mixed with vanilla lead into a long, satisfying finish. "
