Benriach 12 year old 'The Smoky Twelve' Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% 70cl
Benriach Distillery
A Speyside single malt Scotch Whisky both intriguing and extraordinary from Benriach with a unique whisky making heritage, dating back from 1898, when the founder John Duff built the distillery.
Ruggedly beautiful, Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from the mineral-rich aquifer deep beneath the distillery.
Under the current guidance of Master Blender, Rachel Barrie. Benriach is the story of a hidden Speyside gem quietly revealing its treasures, to be discovered and savoured.
Benriach 'The Smoky Ten' has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks and toasted virgin oak. The whisky is then expertly married together to create sublimely smooth layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoke and toasted oak spice, lingering into the perfectly balanced sweet and smoky finish.
