Benriach Quarter Cask Malt Single Whisky 700mL
Benriach Quarter Cask Malt 700mL
BenRiach, since their relaunch under Billy Walker, have become well-known for exciting, inventive single malts which use a range of different cask varieties for maturation.
This is one such offering, a delicious Speyside whisky, which has been aged in old-fashioned quarter casks (pictured on the label). These are casks that are a quarter of the size of the regular barrels, and were used for horseback transportation in the past.
