{"product_id":"benriach-malting-season-fourth-edition","title":"Benriach Malting Season Final Edition 10 Year Old","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are only nine distilleries in Scotland with their own floor maltings, so it’s not often you see 100% floor-malted spirit, let alone some that’s been kept aside for full maturation and separate release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut that’s exactly what Benriach have done over the years with their Malting Season series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilled using only barley from the one-month-a-year periods where the floor maltings are active (hence ‘Malting Season’), the spirit was separated and matured in its own parcels to highlight the distinctive flavours and characteristics floor malting imparts, as well as the differences between individual barley strains used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhich leads us to this, the fourth, final and ultimate Malting Season release. Distilled entirely from Concerto barley – itself now supplanted by higher yielding, more modern grains – and matured in a delicately balanced combination of Oloroso Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks, it’s an exclamation mark on an incredible series of drams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Rachel Barrie, Master Blender at Benriach, reckons it’s the pick of the bunch: “The fourth release is the most complex of all, with a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ericher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esmoother\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esilkier mouthfeel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ejuicy baked peach\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esweet apricot in crème caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e enriched with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealmond biscotti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 10-year-old age statement – bottled at a tidy 47.9% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with all natural colour – will serve equally as a collectors-piece addition to the shelf or as a differently delicious dram for you to pop next, and it’s exclusively launching to Members of The Whisky Club in Australia as an Add In.
