Smoky whiskies are not traditionally associated with Speyside, but look back through its distilleries’ archives and it’s clear that heavily peated single malts were the preferred palate of the region back in the 19th century. Both intensely smoked and exquisitely sweet, the special edition has been two-cask matured in both American virgin oak and bourbon barrels - wood types intentionally selected to amplify the toasted sweet notes in Benriach’s smoky spirit.
Colour: Burnished gold.
Nose: Caramel smoke, oak spice, citrus peel.
Taste: Smoked dark vanilla, seared apple, and cinnamon with lingering charred orange into a sweet and smoky finish.
