What it’s like

BenRiach is one of the few Speyside distilleries that distils peated malt every year. The Smoky Twelve combines that spirit with bourbon, sherry and Marsala wine casks. The smoke is soft and sweet, very well integrated with the fruit, honey and spice. It doesn’t have Islay’s iodine character. It is an elegant smoky malt that is easy to enjoy.

Nose
Wood smoke, honey, ripe fruit and spice, with some chocolate.
Palate
Sweet and smoky. Toffee, dried fruit, soft smoke and pepper.
Finish
Long, with sweet smoke and a hint of spice and dried fruit.
