A 12 year old from the Benriach distillery, this Speyside single malt was finished in casks used prior to mature Pedro Ximenez sherry. This is a heavily peated Benriach, a limited release of 3,180 bottles.
Lots of firm peat. Malty, slightly smoky.
Soft. Supple pine with notes of Americano coffee, malty peat whirling throughout. Vanilla.
Dry, cereal notes, barley.

Was lucky enough to get 2 (last in PL ?) somehow round 2014. Opened one, still remember the shock what was all within.. smoke, sweets, almost no alcohol (kept it in the glass for +/- 30 mins).. Anyone to explain why such MASTERPIECE is being discontinued? Keep the 2nd bottle to open up with my son, on a very importanticus day someday to come ??
This makes me sad. I have finished the last bottle, and can't seem to buy it anywhere. Great quality to price ratio on this one. Lagavulin destroyer. I loved this dram.
Terrible name, terrible bottle, but what's inside is amazing! For us phenol lovers, It's all you want in life, balance!!! The combination of the heavily peated barley, speyside creamy goodness and the wonders of a PX sherry finish have melded together so well and offer you an exclusive ( less than 3200 bottles) and value-for-money juicy, dry, malted goodness that breathes peated smoke and drinks sherried wine! Buy one, great stuff! Bruce Dorfling
Incredible dram, shame to BW not continuing.. Keep the last bottle for my son - for me this stuff is a legend already
I have been drinking this whiskey for two zears and am on mz third bottle. totally consistant, top quality, beatiful nose px cask influence shines through,slight cream of the Harveys kind,peat reek always there, lovely. Palate, peat, orange, strong citrus, sharp at first, smoothes over a bit with water, cream liquorice, honey, true sherry notes right to the end . 92/100.
