A Speyside Delight with Layers of Flavour

The Benriach 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a testament to the distillery's unique approach to whisky making. This expression captures the essence of Speyside with a fruit-forward character, but with a twist. Unlike many distilleries, Benriach embraces experimentation to create depth and complexity in their whiskies.

This 10-year-old gem has been matured in a combination of three casks: bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry casks, and virgin oak casks. This unique cask maturation process, orchestrated by their Master Blender, results in a whisky bursting with flavour. Expect notes of fresh fruit, toasted oak spice, and a touch of luscious sweetness, all perfectly balanced for a smooth and satisfying drinking experience.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Aromas of fresh fruits like green apple, dried apricots, peach, and banana mingle with subtle touches of aniseed, lemon zest, and barley.
Palate: The initial sip offers a delightful balance of sweet and refreshing flavors. Vibrant citrus notes of orange take center stage, complemented by a touch of natural sweetness. The bitters recipe adds a subtle bitterness and herbal complexity, while the underlying sparkling wine provides a crisp and effervescent sensation.
Finish: The finish is medium-length, with the fruit flavours and a touch of oak spice lingering on the palate. A hint of sweetness adds a touch of elegance, ensuring a satisfying conclusion.

About the Maker: Benriach Whisky

A Speyside single malt as captivating as the Benriach 10 Year Old wouldn't be possible without a rich heritage. The story begins in 1898 when founder John Duff built the Benriach Distillery. Ever since, Benriach has stood out for its unwavering commitment to tradition and its adventurous spirit. They are one of the few remaining distilleries that floor malt their own barley, a process that imbues the spirit with a unique depth of character. Furthermore, Benriach uses 100% malted barley in their whisky production, a testament to their dedication to quality.

Under the watchful eye of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, Benriach embraces innovation. Barrie's expertise and willingness to experiment result in a captivating range of expressions, each showcasing the versatility of Benriach's house style.
