Description
Highland peat is used to smoke the malted barley behind The Smoky Ten, and that wood-rich peat gives Benriach's peated whiskies their particular blend of sweetness and smoke. Maturation happens across three cask types — bourbon barrels, toasted virgin oak and Jamaican rum casks — building layers of sun-ripened fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and toasted oak spice.
Bottled at 46% ABV in a 750 ml format, this 10 year old Speyside single malt pours bright gold, with applewood, honey maple and spiced pear ahead of lingering smoked oak. The smoke level is rich, making it a useful starting point for anyone curious about a peated style that departs from the more traditional Islay malts.
