BenRiach Releases Ten New Single Cask Expressions
Filed under: Spirits
Even amidst the constantly changing scene of Scotch whisky distillers, BenRiach has had a bumpy ride. Since its establishment in 1892, it has changed hands from an independent to a Glenlivet subsidiary, then purchased by Canadian consortium Seagrams, which in turn sold it to drinks giant Pernod Ricard. For the last six years BenRiach has been in private hands once again, releasing a core range of 12, 16 and 20 year-old single malts.BenRiach has now added a new batch of special editions, each matured in a different type of barrel and hailing from a different year. The ten individual expressions in the Batch 7 collection, which is just now coming to market, includes vintages from 1976 through 1993, representing 17 to 33 years of aging.
The distillery's unique expertise in cask aging has been applied to include Pedro Ximinez sherry casks from Spain, peated Tawny Port hogsheads, Tokaji hogsheads from Japan and virgin oak barrels from America, to name just a few. Each is bottled at cask strength and non-chill-filtered for the connoisseur's enjoyment.
