BenRiach Latada Aged 18 Years Peated Madeira Finished Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 18 Years Old Country: Scotland
The BenRiach ‘Latada’ is distilled from peated malted barley, matured in American oak casks and then finished in Madeira casks. This whisky has been named after the traditional Latada (trellised vine) system on the island of Madeira where vines are laid out horizontally above the ground on low trellises.
This unusual Single Malt cleverly combines the distinct and contrasting aromas and flavours associated with richly peated malt whisky and elegant style of wood selected for final maturation.

Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Rich antique gold
Nose: Torrents of campfire peat smoke infused heather honey and ripe pear. Hints of cantaloupe and candied citrus add to luscious, crisp balance.
Taste: A mouth-watering sweet peat character floods through delicious ripe fruit syrup. Dried apricots combine with warm oak spices and gentle citrus zest, giving a contrasting depth to the long finish.
