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.
To make Benriach Twelve, the Benriach spirit is three cask matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, sherry-rich single malt, layered with baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa, perfectly balanced with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish.
Colour: Golden bronze.
Nose: Rich maple honey, cocoa and baked forest fruit.
Palate: Maraschino cherry, baked orange and hazelnut, with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish.
