Our historical research indicates Benriach Distillery holds the oldest and rarest peated inventory in Speyside, dating back to 1975. Our peat comes from the Highlands of Scotland and imparts a sweet, smoky woodland peat profile to our whisky.
BenRiach The Smoky Twelve is known for its bold peatiness, tempered by the sweet influences of sherry and Marsala wine casks. This makes it a particularly engaging whisky that's both robust and nuanced, suitable for those who enjoy a balanced, smoky Scotch.
Nose:
It presents a nose of smoked vanilla and charred orange, complemented by toasted almond, providing an inviting and aromatic introduction.
Palate:
The palate features dark chocolate and fruit peel alongside brown sugar and smoked oak, creating a complex and engaging flavor profile that captures the whisky's layered maturation process.
Finish:
The finish is noted for its rich smoke and oak spice, with a lingering taste of cocoa and smoked orange, which adds depth to the overall tasting experience.
