Benriach The Smoky Twelve 12 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 46%

Brilliantly peaty 12-year-old whisky here from the Benriach Distillery, released as part of its new core range launched in 2020. To create this expression, Dr. Rachel Barrie used a combo of bourbon, sherry and Marsala wine casks, imparting sun-dried fruit and warming festive spice notes to the smoky single malt.

Tasting Note

Nose

Flamed orange peel, chocolate brownies fresh from the oven, raisins and walnuts.

Palate

Well-rounded sweetness from the Marsala casks wonderfully juxtaposed with woody smoke and a hint of clove.

Finish

Almond, orange once again, peppercorn and hickory.
