- Description
- Benriach's Importanticus series presents a 12-year-old peated malt finished in Tawny Port casks, limited to just 2,520 bottles and bridging the gap between smoke and fortified sweetness. The bourbon maturation establishes a spicy base before the Port finish adds layers of dried fruit and oxidative richness. This suits whisky drinkers seeking peat tempered by wine-cask elegance.
