Tasting Notes
BenRiach's 10 Year Old Curiositas is a delightful Speyside whisky that captivates the senses. The nose greets you with a harmonious blend of sweet grassy malt, delectable fudge, and subtle hints of smoke and heather, underscored by a touch of malmsey and fragrant honey. On the palate, caramelized sugar and robust cereal flavors form the core, complemented by the delightful notes of marshmallows, ripe stone fruits, and a warm nuttiness. A peppery spice tingles in the background, accompanied by the enticing aroma of green wood smoke. The finish is a delightful contrast of bittersweet flavors, with slight suggestions of dry oak, beeswax, and fennel lingering pleasantly. This 10-year-old peated release from BenRiach distillery embodies the classic Speyside style, offering a distinct malt with great depth and a remarkable balance of sweetness and bitterness.
