In the early 1970s, Benriach dared to break with convention, distilling whiskies inspired by the 19th century style, using smoky, malty barley and Highland peat. It's this wood-rich peat that gives Benriach's peated whiskies their intense, sweet, smoky flavor. Benriach The Smoky Twelve is a blend of peated and unpeated whiskies aged for at least twelve years in old bourbon, sherry and Marsala casks. The result is a supple, creamy single malt with ripe fruit flavors, subtle smoky and sweet notes, warm spicy oak aromas and a sublime finish with notes of cocoa and smoky orange in perfect balance.
