Benriach The Smoky Ten Bottling Note
The Smoky Ten from Benriach's core range launched in 2020 shows off the distillery's skill at working with peated malt. Master blender Dr. Rachel Barrie and her team created this expression using whisky matured in bourbon barrels, toasted virgin oak casks and Jamaican rum casks, building a delicious flavour profile of ripe fruit and creamy spices to support the peaty wafts at its core. Top post-dinner dram, this!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Toasted coconut, aromatic smoke and a touch of greengage.
Palate: Cinnamon, ginger and dry smoke, shortly followed by maple syrup and peach.
Finish: Waves of fresh vanilla, salted butter and toasted barley.
