BenRiach Releases First Cask Strength Single Malt
March 17, 2016 – While most of the attention of the whisky world is focused on Irish whiskies today on St. Patrick’s Day, Speyside’s BenRiach Distillery is releasing its first cask-strength single malt Scotch whisky. Batch 1 Cask Strength is the first in what will be a series of releases from the distillery near Elgin, and follows on the success of cask-strength malts from co-owned GlenDronach Distillery in Aberdeenshire.
The whisky is bottled at 57.2% ABV, and will carry a recommended retail price of £57.99 GBP ($84 USD) at whisky specialist retailers in the UK and Europe.
