Description

The BenRiach Albariza is distilled from peated malted barley, matured in American oak casks and then finished in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks. This whisky has been named after the white soil with high chalk content typical for the Andalucia region in Southern Spain, whose characteristics make it the best type of soil for growing grapes used in the production of sherry.

This unusual Single Malt cleverly combines the dístinct and contrasting aromas and flavours associated with richly peated malt whisky and the elegant style of wood selected for final maturation.

Tasting notes:
NOSE
Crisp candied peel holds waves of soft peach and ripe banana dusted with Demerara sugar. Delicate, rounded peat smoke combines with gentle, sweet oak spices.
COLOUR
Summer harvest straw.
TASTE
Dramatic peat smoke and barley compliment crisp citrus zest, white pepper and fresh ginger. Caramelised orchard fruits and dried apricots develop to a rich, grassy wood smoke finish.
