Description
This Benriach has been distilled from peated malted barley and has been fully matured in quarter casks. A smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit which gives the whisky a great depth of flavour and aroma in a shorter period of time.
Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: Elegant waves of wood smoke intensify to burning heather with a delicious contricution of ripe orchard fruits. Subtle hints of barley give an added contract to the unique, rich peat character. |
Taste |
Distillery: Intense peat smoke mellows to smouldering peat embers infused with green pear and nectarine notes. Nutty oak and vanilla pods combine with a touch of white pepper and a twist of lime to give an intriguing, crisp, smoky finish. |
