Benriach Distillery announced the U.S. debut of two expressions that reflect the traditional methods of Scotch whisky-making dating back to the earliest days of the Speyside distillery.
Benriach Malting Season ($148), the first expression in a century to be produced entirely using barley malted from the distillery’s historic floor maltings, and Smoke Season ($71.99), a small batch release that captures one of Benriach’s time-honored seasonal production techniques, will be available in limited quantities in select markets.
In a nod to the distillery’s mothballed history where it remained in operation through floor malting and producing peated whiskies for other distilleries, Benriach’s expressions reflect the time-honored practices that now only occur once per year and are released seasonally.
Brown-Forman is the importer.
