Benriach The Smoky Twelve Description
Inspired by traditional Speyside malts of the 19th century, this smoky 12-year-old is crafted with peated and unpeated spirit, matured in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and Marsala wine casks. A smooth and creamy expression with layers of aromatic peat smoke, this 2020 release is part of the refreshed core line-up from Benriach distillery.
Smoked vanilla and charred orange lead the way with some toasted almond notes. The palate opens with rich dark chocolate, fruit peel and brown sugar, before smoked oak, cocoa and orange oil in the finish.
