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...
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.

Sadly it does not hold up over time. After opening and with 3/5 left in the bottle, it has lost some of its attributes. Ashy smoke and sweetness is still present, but the fruitiness wears off. It is still a decent deam, but others just does it better - I’d prefer Birnie Moss or Kilchoman Vintage over this.

Just great, lots going on and a wonderful balance between sweetness and smokiness.

Smokehead, Ardbeg, Talisker. Are all my firm favourites. This has just been added. Cream, honey and smoke all with enough prominence to enrich the depth of every sip. As soon I saw it was 46% I knew it was going to be something special, and it was.

Do not add water! It kills this dram stone dead. Saying that it is not a bad dram, not harsh in any way and smokey rather than peaty. It lingers on the palate very pleasantly. And I would buy it again.
