Benriach 12YO The Smoky Twelve Whiskey 700ml

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. Tasting Notes NOSE: Flamed orange peel, chocolate brownies fresh from the oven, raisins and walnuts. TASTE: 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.
