The BenRiach Cask Strength Batch 1 is a distinguished single malt whisky, bottled at a robust ABV of 57.2% with a generous volume of 700ml. Released in 2016, this is the inaugural cask strength batch from The BenRiach Distillery. This renowned distillery, situated in the heart of Speyside, has been crafting an impressive variety of single malt expressions since whisky maverick Billy Walker took the helm in 2004. Matured in first-fill American oak casks, the whisky boasts a radiant "autumn sunlight" hue. Its aroma profile is abundant with fruity top notes of apple, melon, and green banana. On the palate, the whisky reveals a delightful balance of sweetness, freshness, and acidity, characterized by the voluptuous sweetness of honey and soft fruits. Established in 1897 and reopened in 1965, The BenRiach Distillery has a storied history. It was once under the ownership of Seagram and later Pernod Ricard before Billy Walker's acquisition in 2004. Walker's leadership saw the distillery rise to prominence as a top-tier single malt whisky brand, culminating in its sale to Brown-Forman in 2016. The BenRiach Cask Strength Batch 1 is elegantly presented in a tube, making it a prized addition to any whisky collection. This exceptional whisky is sure to delight both loyal fans of BenRiach and discerning whisky enthusiasts alike.

The BenRiach Cask Strength Batch 1 is a commendable whisky that showcases the distillery's dedication to quality. While its robust ABV and complex flavor profile might not appeal to everyone, those who appreciate a well-crafted, cask strength single malt will find much to admire. The interplay of fruity and sweet notes with a touch of herbaceous bitterness provides a dynamic tasting experience. However, it can feel a bit young and might benefit from some dilution to fully appreciate its subtleties. Overall, it's a whisky worth exploring, particularly for fans of the brand and collectors.
