BenRiach Smoke Season
A small batch seasonal release from Speysider's BenRiach! While smoky whiskies are not traditionally associated with Speyside, heavily peated single malts were the preferred palate of the region back in the 19th century. This special edition has been two-cask matured in both American virgin oak and bourbon barrels - wood types intentionally selected to amplify the toasted sweet notes in Benriach’s smoky spirit. Offers smoked dark vanilla, seared apple, and cinnamon flavours with lingering charred orange into a sweet and smoky finish.
