The BenRiach 'The Twelve' 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery. Ruggedly beautiful, Benrich stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beaneath the distillery. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky; classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled, together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, our whisky makers are able to explore the full flavour possibilities of single malt, creating some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside. This tradition continues today, under the guidance of Master Blender, Rachel Barrie. Benrich is the story of a hidden Speyside gem; quietly revealing its treasures to be discovered and savoured. Sherry Cask | Bourbon Cask | Port Cask To make Benriach The Twelve, Benriach spirit is three casks matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, sherry-rich single malt, layered with baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa, perfectly balanced with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish. COLOUR: golden bronze NOSE: rich maply honey, cocoa and baked forest fruit PALATE: maraschino cherry, baked orange and hazelnut, with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish
