In the 1990s Benriach began making batches of triple distilled spirit; a tradition they continue once a year. The third distillation further enhances Benriach’s fruit-laden character, creating an ultra-smooth spirit for this small batch expression. To craft Benriach Triple Distilled, Benriach spirit is distilled a third time and three cask matured for at least ten years in bourbon barrels, Pedro Ximénez casks, and virgin oak. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together, to create the smoothest of single malts, layered with glazed fruit, creamy vanilla and vibrant oak spice, finishing with fruit and oak in perfect balance.
