- Description
- Benriach's second edition Malting Season showcases Concerto barley malted on the distillery's own floor in autumn 2013, then matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. The nose reveals sweet malt, honey-nut cornflakes, mandarins, and white chocolate, while the palate brings honeycomb, orange, apple, and vanilla ice cream with lingering barley sugar sweetness. The texture is clean and approachable at 48.9% ABV. This whisky suits those seeking a bright, fruit-forward Speyside that celebrates the malting process.
