It is bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenriach was established by John Duff in 1898 on the site of Riach farm in the north of Speyside. In the early 1970s it broke convention in the region by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old 19th-century style, using malted barley smoked with wood-rich Highland peat, which gives distinctly sweet and smoky notes to its peated whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree-cask maturation brings out intense smoked applewood with honeyed sugar maple, woven together with rich layers of smoke. The colour is bright gold. The nose shows ripe orchard fruit syrup, smoked honey glaze and oak spice, and the palate brings smoked applewood, honey maple and spiced pear, finishing with lingering fruit and smoked oak. It won a Double Gold medal at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in its tube, it is the perfect introduction to the smokier side of Benriach and a fine gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe orchard fruit syrup, smoked honey glaze and oak spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked applewood, honey maple and spiced pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering fruit and smoked oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benriach, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside single malt, peated and unpeated spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon, Jamaican rum and toasted virgin oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a drop of water, or try it in a smoky highball.
