This is a complex and intriguing single malt Scotch whisky with a unique combination of smoky and fruity flavors. On the nose, you'll immediately detect notes of smoky peat, charred oak, and dried fruit. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with hints of honey, vanilla, and spiced fruit cake. The finish is long and smoky, with a satisfying warmth that lingers on the tongue.

The use of smoke-dried barley and a combination of casks makes for a distinct flavor profile that sets Benriach The Smoky Twelve apart from other whiskies.

About The Brand: Benriach

Benriach, a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey, has a unique whisky manufacturing history that dates back to 1898 when founder John Duff constructed his distillery. Without this tradition, Benriach would not be the interesting and exceptional whisky that it is today. Benriach is a ruggedly picturesque distillery in north Speyside that draws water from a mineral-rich aquifer deep underneath the distillery. It is located on the site of the former Riach farm. Our whiskey producers are free to explore the full flavor potential of single malt, producing some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside, thanks to a long-standing history of distilling three varieties of whisky: traditional unpeated, Highland peated, and triple distilled. Under the direction of Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this custom is being practiced today. The tale of Benriach tells of a Speyside jewel that has been kept concealed but is now slowly disclosing its delights for everyone to enjoy.
