The BenRiach Peated Quarter Cask, made from peated malted barley, undergoes its entire aging process in quarter casks. These smaller barrels intensify the wood-to-whisky interaction and accelerate maturation. Introduced in June 2016, this was the inaugural release following Brown-Forman's acquisition of the brand's parent company earlier that year. This single malt has no age statement, is non-chill-filtered, and is bottled at 46% ABV.

The bottle's shape is unusual, and the label is a military green, not very appealing, but who cares? The cork is plain and seems low quality. On the nose: green apples, faint smoke, mint, citrus, bubble gum. Palate: it's reminiscent of grappa with smoke, a salty quality, and cinnamon. Smooth and spicy finish.
The aroma presents heather smoke, floral notes, salinity, vanilla cream, honey, and apple. The taste is bitter, with peat, mild stone fruits, a hint of brine, and grassy character. The finish offers light oak vanilla, brine, and additional smoke.
Nose: very light smoke, vanilla, cinnamon. Flavor: smoke is less noticeable than on the nose. Toffee, caramel. Finish: short, slight burn, leaves a little smoke behind.
NOSE: sweet, eucalyptus TASTE: sweet, oaky, woody, spice, long finish
At a friend's place - not bad, better than another friend's drink.
Faint smoke, lime, smooth finish.
