Benriach Cask Edition Collection 2022 Launches This Spring

Scotland’s Benriach Distillery recently launched its 2022 Cask Edition Collection, each of the nine expressions coming from single casks and each chosen by Master Blender Rachel Barrie to offer a rare insight into the versatility of the different Benriach cask styles.

Limited to only a few hundred bottles per cask, each of the new expressions is bottled at cask strength. The maturation ages of the Cask Edition Collection 2022 range from a 12-year-old up to 27 years.

Master Blender Barrie said of their “sleeping beauties,” as they refer to their maturing casks, that they continue to be sourced from all over the world, enabling Benriach to creatively explore what’s described as the full flavor possibilities of Speyside single malt.

“Each individual Benriach cask tells its own story of classic or peated spirit matured in specially selected oak over years and through seasons, a journey of flavor captured at a unique moment in time, never to be repeated in quite the same way again,” she said in a prepared statement.

“From the Marsala Wine Hogshead bringing out the sweetness of clementine, apricot and cherry blossom, to the Pedro Ximénez Puncheon with intense heather honey, butterscotch and sultana, each selected cask allows the drinker to explore a distinctive aspect of Benriach’s fruit-laden style,” Barrie continued.

The Benriach Cask Edition Collection 2022 is available now to purchase from specialist retailers in select markets globally with US Cask Editions available later this spring. The suggested retail price in the UK varies from £103-£531 depending on the cask type and age. Global markets may vary.
