The BenRiach SMOKY QUARTER CASKS Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% Vol. 1l in Giftbox

The BenRiach SMOKY QUARTER CASKS Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% ABV 1 l + GB is a special bottling from the renowned Speyside distillery BenRiach, known for its variety of cask maturations and innovative style. This smoky single malt Scotch Whisky is distilled from peated barley malt and matured in smaller oak quarter casks, which impart particularly intense flavors. The increased wood contact during maturation creates exceptional depth and a complex interplay of smoke, spice, and sweetness.

At 46% ABV, the BenRiach Smoky Quarter Casks is bottled at natural strength, is unchill-filtered, and retains its full aromatic profile. The 1 l bottle in a gift box makes it an ideal choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a characterful whisky with a smoky profile. This edition impressively demonstrates how BenRiach combines traditional Speyside whisky craftsmanship with powerful, peaty notes.

Tasting notes:

Color: Warm gold with bronze highlights.

Nose: Intense peat smoke, accompanied by sweet vanilla, honey, and a hint of oak spice.

Palate: Powerful and balanced, with a balance of campfire smoke, toffee, caramel, sweet malt, and spicy wood notes.

The BenRiach Smoky Quarter Casks is perfect for neat enjoyment in a nosing glass, where its intense smoky character comes into its own. It pairs perfectly with grilled meat, hearty BBQ dishes, or smoked salmon, as its peaty notes ideally enhance the flavors. It also pairs well with strong hard cheeses or dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. For lovers of special indulgences, it is also an excellent accompaniment to an aromatic cigar.
