Benriach Curiositas 10 Year old Peated - The Speyside Would-Be Islay
This one is light in color and the tears in the glass will keep you occupied for several minutes. Nice. The nose is all about peat, iodine, paint thinner (55 ppm). Upon the second whiff it even made me… read more

Benriach 1970 38 Year old PX sherry - Head-shaking stuff. Incredibly rich.
BenRiach 1970 cask 1035 (2009 single cask series) Nose: Dried fruits (raisins, dates) but lush fruits at the same time (blackcurrants, blueberries). It’s much fresher than you would expect. There are … read more

Benriach 20 Year old - Excellent price/quality BenRiach
Nose: something of a potpourri: orange, pear, peach, pineapple candy, berries. Some lavender. White chocolate. Bourbon wood. Vanilla. Something dusty and farmy, but very nice. Also light peat and subtle… read more

Benriach 12 Year old - The poorest offer in the BenRiach range
Nose: Malty and fruity. Orange and cinnamon. Pineapple candy. Sweeter and more rounded than the BenRiach Heart of Speyside. Flowery. Slightly peppery as well, which gives it some punch. Uncomplicated but… read more

Benriach 15 Year Old Tawny Port Finish - First Benriach of the evening
Nose starts off absent, after a drop of water or much aeration it becomes eye-wateringly sharp and hot. Medium body, copper coloured. Starts with the oak and sweet port flavours on the tip of the to… read more

Benriach 1980 26 Year old New Oak Cask - Very interesting oak influence
Very fruity, very mature. The oak influence is pretty heavy but it's not at all a dry or tired whisky. Interesting how it contains a lot of elements that you normally find in bourbons, not in Scotch w… read more
-
Benriach 15 Year old Dark Rum Wood Finish - A taste of Sunshine from the cold north of Scotland
I can almost feel the dreadlocks seeping out of the top of my head when I drink this, the dark rum barrel used for creating this whisky has worked wonders both on the nose and the old taste buds. This… read more
