Speyside\u2019s BenRiach Distillery<\/a> has today, Tuesday 28 March, launched Batch 1 of its new Peated Cask Strength expression to pair with its classic Cask Strength offering.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In March last year, Batch 1 of BenRiach\u2019s Cask Strength<\/a> was launched to showcase the raw style of the distillery as sampled at the source: straight from the cask. An exceptional whisky, it earned a Silver Outstanding medal at the 2016 IWSC awards. Today, its peated counterpart has been launched, in keeping with BenRiach<\/a>\u2019s unconventional approach to making Speyside malt that\u2019s both Classic and Peated in style. Bottled at 56%, of natural colour and non chill filtered, it offers notes of campfire smoke and toasted oak balanced perfectly with BenRiach<\/a>\u2019s signature orchard fruit and barley notes.<\/p>\n Naturally rich, and specially selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, BenRiach<\/a> Peated Cask Strength is destined to delight fans of peated malt as well as those looking for something bold from the Speyside region.<\/p>\n Global Brand Ambassador Stewart Buchanan said: \u201cOur new Peated Cask Strength Batch 1 is an exciting first for the distillery. Made with heavily peated malted barley to produce a unique, smoky expression, it also captures the Speyside character of BenRiach. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
