- Description
- Benriach's 2010 vintage is a heavily peated single malt bottled at cask strength (52.2% ABV) after a decade in ex-bourbon wood. The peat dominates the nose and palate with rich, ashy character tempered by time and oak influence. At full proof, the texture is robust and warming with layers that develop as the spirit opens. This is for peated whisky enthusiasts who appreciate the complexity that a single ex-bourbon cask can deliver.
