Description

BenRiach Albariza Aged 18 Years is a heavily peated expression originally matured in American oak casks, then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The name 'Albariza' refers to the white soil with high chalk content used for growing grapes in the production of sherry in the Andalucia region of Southern Spain. It is bottled at natural colour and non chill filtered, and was released as a limited production.
