Tasting Notes

Imagine the smoky aroma of a crackling campfire, where the scent of charred wood intertwines with the sweet caramelization of marshmallows. That's the captivating experience you'll encounter with Benriach Smoke Season. This whisky is a celebration of the distillery's annual tradition of crafting peated spirit, a nod to the bygone era when smoky whiskies reigned supreme in the Speyside region. The nose tantalizes with notes of cinder toffee, BBQ-charred pineapple, and a dry smokiness punctuated by a touch of peppercorn. On the palate, the flavors unfold like a symphony, with thyme honey, scorched bread, and a hint of ash mingling harmoniously with fresh lemon zest and tropical fruit nuances. The finish lingers with a smoky embrace, reminiscent of porridge laced with rich brown sugar, leaving an indelible impression on the senses.
