Description
The BenRiach Smoke Season Double Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a unique and bold whisky that combines the classic smoothness of BenRiach with a rich, smoky character. Crafted at the BenRiach distillery in Speyside, this whisky is matured in two types of casks, which gives it a remarkable depth of flavor.
The whisky’s deep amber color is a reflection of its rich aging process. On the nose, the whisky delivers a distinctive smoky aroma, with hints of peat smoke and charred wood. This is balanced with the sweetness of dried fruits, toffee, and subtle vanilla notes, which come from its double cask maturation. The combination of ex-bourbon barrels and sherry casks creates an inviting complexity.
On the palate, The BenRiach Smoke Season offers a smooth, full-bodied experience. The smoky peat flavors dominate the front, followed by a gentle sweetness from the sherry cask, which adds layers of dried fruit and spice. The whisky is rich and warming, with a long finish that lingers, leaving behind a delightful smoky aftertaste with a hint of sweetness.
This whisky is perfect for fans of peated whisky who appreciate the balance of smoke and sweetness. It pairs well with smoked meats, blue cheese, or simply enjoyed neat or with a splash of water.
