Benriach The Smoky Twelve 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“As other reviews say, it's no peat beast, it's more subtle and adds a great character but not over powering at all If people are looking to try a more traditional scotch (ie peated) but don't enjoy Islay this is probably a great shout, really is great scotch Nose I got orange oils, chocolate and whiskey Palate Gentle, Well-rounded, woody smoke, wine cask and a hint of peppercorn/spice Finish is awesome, not powerful but it does linger Nutty citrus, peppercorn and gentle peat.”

Description
Brilliantly peaty 12-year-old whisky here from the Benriach Distillery, released as part of its new core range launched in 2020. To create this expression, Dr. Rachel Barrie used a combo of bourbon, sherry and Marsala wine casks, imparting sun-dried fruit and warming festive spice notes to the smoky single malt. Ought to be fab for chilly evenings, this one...
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Flamed orange peel, chocolate brownies fresh from the oven, raisins and walnuts.
Palate
Well-rounded sweetness from the Marsala casks wonderfully juxtaposed with woody smoke and a hint of clove.
Finish
Almond, orange once again, peppercorn and hickory.
