Tasting Notes
Benriach The Smoky Twelve is a delightful whisky that beckons you with its alluring aroma. Imagine freshly baked chocolate brownies straight from the oven, mingling with the sweet scent of raisins and walnuts, all wrapped in a tantalizing whiff of flamed orange peel. As you savor it, the well-rounded sweetness from the Marsala casks dances on your palate, harmoniously complemented by the woody smokiness and a subtle hint of clove. The finish lingers pleasantly, unveiling notes of almond, a citrusy burst of orange once again, a peppery kick, and the warmth of hickory smoke. This brilliantly peaty 12-year-old expression, crafted by Dr. Rachel Barrie using a blend of bourbon, sherry, and Marsala wine casks, imparts a delightful symphony of sun-dried fruit and festive spice notes to the smoky single malt. Undoubtedly, Benriach The Smoky Twelve is a perfect companion for chilly evenings, offering a cozy and delectable whisky experience.
