BenRiach The Smoky 10

46% abv

Vol- 70cl

In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. This wood rich Highland peat imparts distinctly sweet and smoky notes into Benriach peated whiskies. Benriach The Smoky Ten has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks and toasted virgin oak. The whisky is then expertly married together to create sublimely smooth layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoke and toasted oak spice, lingering into the perfectly balanced sweet and smoky finish.

NOSE
Ripe orchard fruit syrup, smoked honey glaze and oak spice

TASTE
Smoked applewood, honey maple and spiced pear finishing with lingering fruit and smoked oak

John Duff had built Longmorn in 1893, and having achieved early success he decided he needed another distillery next door. In 1897, he built Benriach. Sadly, his timing could not have been worse. A downturn in the domestic market alongside the infamous Pattison Crash of 1899 saw the distillery close for 65 years after only operating for two.

Typical with many distilleries, BenRiach has changed hands many times over the course of its history. The Glenlivet Distillers took the reigns in 1965, then onto Seagram in 1978, and then Pernod Ricard in 2001 who decided to close it until 2003 when Billy Walker and two South African entrepreneurs bought it. It has been in the hands of Brown Forman since 2016.

Expect an abundance of pears and peaches in a glass of BenRiach with an elegant top note.
