Following on from Benriach's inaugural cask strength release came a peated version. Last year's received a rave review from Jim Murray who described it as "...stunning whisky, magnificently distilled and, though relatively young, almost perfectly matured."(95 points). Batch 2 has just been released and ups the ante with a whopping 60% ABV. We're offering it at a special introductory price.Tasting note:Benriach's Batch 2 is a flavour bomb that sets a benchmark for bold Speysiders: On the nose, Highland smoke is matched by fruity spirit until thick, sooty, lanolin notes win out. A malt of epic proportions with a fat, oily and completely mouthfilling attack that combines fruit and wood smoke with liqueur-like richness. The finish reminds you it's cask strength, ending with a thrust of spirit and a spike of pepper heat. A whisky to get you through Winter - and a terrific bang for your buck at this opening price. 60% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
