- Description
- Benriach's smokiest expression demonstrates that Speyside can produce serious peated whisky, combining Islay-style smoke with the region's characteristic refinement. Ex-bourbon and virgin-oak casks layer in creamy vanilla and spice, creating textural complexity beneath the peat. The 52.8% strength delivers smoke without obscuring the underlying spirit character. Best enjoyed neat or with minimal water, this suits explorers of peated Speyside.
