A distinctive and heavily peated Speyside single malt, crafted by the talented team at BenRiach Distillery. This whisky is a fascinating throwback to the robust, smoky style of malt that was once produced in the Speyside region. Bottled at 46% ABV, it combines intense peat smoke with layers of sweetness, spice and earthy complexity.
Nose: Richly medicinal and smoky, with aromas of sweet grass, heather and warm asphalt. Subtle hints of malmsey add a touch of sweetness and depth.
Palate: Bold and intensely smoky, balanced by an underlying sweetness. Peppery spice creates a lively warmth, accompanied by notes of iodine, toasted nuttiness and deep peat smoke.
Finish: Long and characterful, with bittersweet oak, dry wood and lingering notes of creosote, phenols and aromatic fennel.
A powerful and distinctive expression that offers a compelling glimpse into the heavily peated Speyside style of days gone by.
