BenRiach Classic 46% 1L Gift Box

BenRiach Quarter Cask is a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey that captivates with its fuller flavor, richer texture, and elegant fruity-vanilla notes. Its character is shaped by a combination of maturation in ex-bourbon barrels and subsequent aging in specially crafted quarter casks. It is precisely these smaller casks that allow for more intense contact between the distillate and the wood, giving the whiskey greater depth, richness, and a harmoniously integrated flavor profile.

Tasting Profile:

Color: Polished gold.

Nose: Candied fruit, rich vanilla, fresh oak.

Taste: Candied pear, honeyed apricot, fresh barley cream, oak spices.

Smokiness level: None.

The aroma unfolds with candied fruit, rich vanilla, and fresh oak, giving the whiskey a pleasantly warm and well-balanced aromatic character. On the palate, candied pear and honeyed apricot emerge, complemented by finishing notes of fresh barley cream and oak spice. The result is a smooth yet distinctive whiskey that will delight lovers of gentler, unsmoked styles with a richer cask influence.

BenRiach Quarter Cask has a natural color derived solely from the casks and is free of smoky notes. This allows its pure Speyside character, fruitiness, and vanilla-spiced depth to shine through. The gift packaging also makes it an excellent choice as a special gift.

About BenRiach Distillery Company Ltd.:

BenRiach Distillery Company Ltd. is a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey distillery with a history dating back to 1898, when it was founded by John Duff. The distillery stands on the site of the original Riach farm in northern Speyside and draws its water from the Riach mineral spring in northern Speyside, utilizing the water-rich underground aquifers deep beneath the distillery grounds. BenRiach has built a reputation over the years as a “hidden gem” of Speyside, combining traditional craftsmanship with a bolder approach to whisky production.

The brand is known for its wide range of flavors and styles. In addition to classic non-peated whiskies, it also produces peated variants as well as triple-distilled whiskies, which are rather rare in Scotland. A diverse selection of casks from around the world also plays an important role, resulting in rich, layered, and distinctive whiskies. Today, the BenRiach tradition continues under the leadership of master blender Rachel Barrie, and the distillery is part of the Brown-Forman group.
