Description

From Benriach's 2020 relaunch of its cracking core range comes The Twelve, a 12-year-old Speyside single malt matured in a trio of casks - namely sherry casks, bourbon casks and Port casks! This maturation has imparted dried fruit notes galore, alongside wafts of good coffee and subtle spices. Very impressive indeed.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Maple syrup on blueberry pancakes, dark chocolate, quince and orange.

Palate

Honeyed cereals, cooked apple, chocolate peanuts and soft, almost jammy sultanas.

Finish

Mocha, honey, dried fruit and mixed peels.

Reviews for Benriach The Twelve

A very nice malt for the price

There is quite a depth of flavours which are not easy to identify with my palate anyway. There's a definite hit of citrus in the background - I would say orange. Overall, it is very enjoyable. And I hope to win the trip to Benriach.

A Speyside specialty to savour

This is a great marriage of the three different casks, giving you a delicious and reasonably complex whisky. The tasting notes are very much there with immediate syrupy sweet nose and candied orange. The soft oily texture was delightful on the palate and I also found notes of cherries and the dried fruits with a smooth chocolate, citrus and soft almond finish - excellent value and a worthy Speyside contender in my collection, I like it.

Full flavoured, with lingering sweetness

Great full flavour right off the bat. Rich amber colour. I enjoyed the mix of toffee sweetness and a little port. Left a pleasant lingering taste. One of the best lower priced whisky I've tried in a while, would definitely buy again. Husband also very much enjoyed.

Sweet and Tasty.

I really like this - it's sweet and tasty, and a bit different. Unless the idea of sweetness puts you off, you should give it a try - I was attracted by the tasting note, and it was better than I'd expected! I currently have 58 whiskies from around the world (half Scotch) and this is definitely worthy of a place in the collection - I'll be buying again.

Although review is not great, please try and gauge for yourself

Born in a land of hard competition and sadly only sits mid-table. The nose is harsher than I like, palate is like that of a highland and finish leaves the taste of alcohol. For those reading this (for comparison) my favourite tipples are (1) balvenie 12 and (2) macallan gold.
