Benriach The Smoky Twelve Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterful blend of fruity, malty, oaky, and smoky flavors. Crafted with a combination of unpeated and peated spirit, this whisky undergoes a triple maturation process, spending at least twelve years in a variety of cask types, including bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and Marsala wine casks.
With a natural cask-imparted color and an ABV of 46%, Benriach The Smoky Twelve promises a delightful and harmonious tasting experience that combines the best elements of fruitiness and smokiness in a well-rounded whisky.
Tasting Note by BenRiach:
Nose: Smoked vanilla, charred orange and toasted almond.
Palate: Dark chocolate, fruit peel, brown sugar and smoked oak, lingering into a cocoa and orange smoked finish.
Very prompt delivery. And a very nice whisky

Generaly not bad whisky but not great. Lovely nose promising more that you get on the taste. Sweet fruity with gentle smoke in the backgtound. Not for Islay lovers but for someone who starts his journey with peat/smoke. Bit too oaky finish but at this price solid whisky.
