    Benriach Malting Season #2 is a remarkable expression that showcases the distillery's dedication to traditional whisky-making. This limited-edition release highlights the unique character of floor-malted barley, a process rarely practiced in the industry today. Master Blender Rachel Barrie selected Concerto barley for its wholesome cereal flavour, resulting in a whisky that is both familiar and distinctive.  

    Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon and new charred oak barrels, this second edition offers a richer, fruitier profile compared to its predecessor. The result is a beautifully balanced and approachable single malt that celebrates the essence of Speyside.

    Benriach

    Nestled in the heart of Speyside, the Benriach Distillery is more than just a place for whisky production; it's a living testament to the region's rich whisky-making heritage. Founded by John Duff in 1898, the distillery draws its character not only from its time-honoured methods but also from the very land it occupies. Unlike many distilleries, Benriach holds fast to the time-honoured tradition of floor malting its own barley. Furthermore, Benriach is one of only a handful of distilleries in Scotland that continues to produce whisky solely from 100% malted barley. This unwavering commitment to heritage and quality shines through in every bottle of Benriach, making it a true Speyside gem.

    Under the watchful eye of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, Benriach continues to push boundaries while respecting its traditions. Barrie's innovative spirit and dedication to excellence have garnered Benriach numerous accolades, solidifying its position as a leading light in the world of single malt Scotch whisky.
