Tasting Notes
Benriach's The Smoky Ten is a captivating whisky that invites you on a sensory journey. As you nose the glass, aromas of toasted coconut and fragrant smoke intertwine with a hint of greengage, whetting your appetite for the flavors to come. On the palate, a delightful interplay of cinnamon, ginger, and dry smoke unfolds, soon accompanied by the sweetness of maple syrup and the juiciness of peach. The finish is a delightful wave of fresh vanilla, salted butter, and toasted barley, lingering pleasantly on your taste buds. Masterfully crafted by Dr. Rachel Barrie and her team, this expression showcases Benriach's expertise in working with peated malt, skillfully matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon barrels, toasted virgin oak casks, and Jamaican rum casks, resulting in a delicious flavor profile that seamlessly marries ripe fruit and creamy spices with the peaty heart at its core.
