Scottish Whisky : Scotch

The BenRiach Sherry Wood 12 Year Old scotch whisky shows sherry cask maturation at its most fruity and luscious. Baked fruit salad with fig, pear, apricot and glace cherry in mandarin syrup. Honey glazed flan with creme-caramel and toasted vanilla pod add to the multi-layered sweetness. Deep golden bronze, the Sherry Wood 12YO shows a rich fruit cocktail of honeyed fig, baked pineapple and sultana fused with chocolate fondant and muscovado sugar, lifted by mandarin cream, ground nutmeg and vanilla. On the finish savour nectarine, candied grape and star anise, lingering into the dessert-like sherried finish.

A fantastic 27yo from the BenRiach distillery aged for 27 years in Madeira hogsheads and bottled at 53.9%.

From Batch 17, selected by Dr Rachel Barrie, comes this 13 year old unpeated Benriach aged in an Moscatel Hogshead. Apricot and lemon syrup, with macadamia nut brittle and manuka honey. Vanilla cream and sticky apricot preserve with lingering honeyed orchard fruits and praline.

From the distillery.

This exquisite single malt has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and four cask matured for at least twenty one years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, virgin oak casks and Bordeaux red wine casks. During long maturation Benriach?s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak. After twenty one years, rich layering develops into an elegant honey smoke, enriched through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create a rich and elegant single malt, layered with lush orchard fruit and toasted pine wood with a honey smoke finish. All in perfect balance.

A nod to the history of Speyside, Benriach Temporis is peated, as they did back in the 1970s. It's been matured in a mix of bourbon barrels, virgin-oak casks, and Pedro Ximenez and oloroso sherry casks, adding in layers of fruit and spice on top of Benriach's honeyed peat smoke character.

This  limited edition, peated single malt Scotch whisky was initially aged in American oak and finished in dark rum barrels. This lends flavours of demerara sugar, caramel, banana and dried fruits. This matches perfectly with the balanced smoky peat backdrop. 

Bright polished gold in colour.

The nose shows bright vanilla syrup and poached pears, dusted with sweet barley grist, that combine with oak spice and candied peel to create a warm contrast.

Ripe yellow plums and nectarines on the palate infuse with vanilla, ginger and tangerine peel leading to wild flower honey and stewed barley 

The finish is exceptionally luscious and long with rich, dark sugars and warm oak spice thanks to the dark rum cask. A truly exceptional example of the marriage between cask, maturation and spirit.

This peated single malt Speyside whisky has been aged in Pedro Ximenez barrels, imparting a rich flavour profile of dried fruit, caramel and nuttiness. This whisky is non-chill filtered and is not coloured.

Benriach have extended their pleasingly peaty Authenticus series with a 30 year old expression (following on from the 21 Year Old and 25 Year Old). A rich, smoky, well-balanced dram from the fantastic distillery.

BenRiach Birnie Moss was orginally bottled to appeal to the young, peaty-whisky drinkers of Spain, but has become a success around the world. Whilst it says it's "heavily peated" - it is heavily peated for a BenRiach - to about 35ppm. The peat they use at BenRiach is different to the Islay version - its phenols react differently to the barley.The resulting whisky has a big whiff of peat smoke, which soon evolves into quite a fruity melange of stone fruit and tropical fruit.A great dram to have in any cabinet.

The BenRiach CURIOSITAS uses a heavily peated malted barley as the cereal varietal to produce a unique, fresh, peated expression. This rare peated single malt, from the Heartland of Speyside, has wonderful overtones of PEAT reek, combined cleverly with a background of FRUITY, FLORAL, heathery notes and an appealing presence of OAK WOOD in the finish. Traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion after 10 YEARS of maturation. In fact, peated BenRiach is a return to the ORIGINAL Speyside character and flavour of malts typical of the nineteenth century. Curiositas is a DISTINCTIVE and welcome addition to the Speyside scene ? this is a dram to be savoured with a dash of water.
