Benriach The Smoky Ten Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Three cask matured bourbon, rum and virgin oak.  Aromas of malt ball, mesquite smoke with a whisper of iodine. Grilled stone fruits and pears with a little saltiness on a nice round palate. The mesquite smoke blends with nice oaky spices. D&M Tasting Notes

In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. This wood rich Highland peat imparts distinctly sweet and smoky notes into Benriach peated whiskies. Benriach The Smoky Ten has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks and toasted virgin oak. The whisky is then expertly married together to create sublimely smooth layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoke and toasted oak spice, lingering into the perfectly balanced sweet and smoky finish. Distillery Notes 46% ABV
