Benriach The Original Ten 10 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 43%

A fab 10 year old single malt from Benriach, released as part of a new core range launched in 2020. The Original Ten was matured in a trio of casks - bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak casks - imparted a bounty of honeyed fruit and softly toasted oak notes, alongside just a hint of smoke (if you're looking for something a little more peaty, you'll want to check out The Smoky Ten, too!). 

Tasting Note

Nose

Nectarine, honeydew melon, vanilla sponge with cream and jam and a touch of cedar.

Palate

More baked goods - now croissants dipped in milky coffee and cinnamon rolls. Still packs plenty of creamy orchard fruits notes, plus a waft of earthy peat.

Finish

Nutty malt, vanilla pod and apricot remains.
