Seit dem 26.06.2019 gibt es das BenRiach batch 16. Diesmal 24 single cask bottlings, 12 für Europa und die anderen 12 für Asia Pacific, Australia, New Zealand und Canada.
Im batch 16 sind 16 malts unpeated und 8 peated casks, das Ganze über ein Spektrum von casks around the world wie Tokaji wine, Oloroso sherry, Pedro Ximénez, Port, Claret Wein, Madeira, Sauternes, virgin oak, South African red wine, Jamaican rum, Rioja, Sicilian Marsala und man glaubt es kaum - bourbon.

Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie: "There is no better insight into our intriguing palette of flavour than BenRiach Cask Bottling Batch 16. Featuring 24 different casks, this release provides a rare opportunity to explore the many facets of BenRiach maturation in one batch, something us whisky makers are lucky to do every day. Batch 16 offers the sweet side of Sicilian Marsala wood, smoked plum of the Rioja cask and a dark manuka honey palate of the 30 year old Tokaji; there is a journey and a story behind each cask bottling to be enjoyed by whisky explorers."

„ … a rare opportunity to explore the many facets of BenRiach maturation in one batch“ ist ein guter Witz. Nachdem unser Päckchen vom Importeur angekommen war, haben wir wenig Lust zu einer detaillierten Beschreibung.
