BenRiach1998 - Triple Distilled Single Cask Bottling

Single Cask

This 19-year-old single malt whisky from BenRiach is a unique expression, being triple distilled, which is less common in Scotch whisky production. The triple distillation process typically results in a lighter and more refined spirit, allowing for a more nuanced flavor profile. This particular bottling is from a single cask, ensuring that each bottle captures the distinct characteristics imparted by that specific cask, making it a truly special release.

The whisky has spent nearly two decades maturing, which has allowed it to develop a complex and sophisticated character. The extended aging process in oak casks has imparted deep, rich flavors and a smooth, mellow finish. This maturation period also allows the whisky to absorb the subtle influences of the wood, adding layers of depth and complexity to the overall profile.

For those new to whisky, this expression offers a wonderful introduction to the intricacies of aged single malts. Its balanced flavor profile, combined with the unique aspects of triple distillation and single cask aging, provides a rich and rewarding tasting experience. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this whisky is sure to impress both novices and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
