Benriach The Twelve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Three cask matured Sherry, bourbon and port wood. Aromas of red, and yellow plums, with some orange peel, cocoa and a hit of sherry nuttiness. The palate shows plums, chocolate covered raisins, almonds, toasted walnuts. D&M Tasting Notes

We seek out an eclectic mix of casks from around the world, so chosen for the exceptional character and flavour notes they lend our whisky. Once brought back to Speyside, we fill them with one of our three styles of distilled spirit: classic, peated or triple distilled. And then we wait. Our spirit matures; flavours collide, combine and intertwine. And only when we are satisfied our whisky is ready, can you enjoy a dram that is richly multi-layered and full of character. The Benriach range is waiting for you to discover.

To make Benriach Twelve, Benriach spirit is three cask matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, sherry-rich single malt, layered with baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa, perfectly balanced with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish.
