It has been matured in first-fill American oak and ex-PX Sherry casks, before being bottled at 43% abv, and is said to have notes of crisp green apple, pear tarte tatain and sweet floral barley.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Barrie, master blender for BenRiach, said: \u2018Two decades ago the BenRiach distillery team started to experiment with small batches of triple distilled whisky, even when most single malt Scotch whiskies are distilled twice.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have the wonderful task of bringing out this experimental nature through some of the most interesting casks in Speyside.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32397\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
