At forty years old, Benriach has developed a seamlessly silken fruit and oak complexity, finessed by the fresh Speyside air and enriched by the alluring aromatics of cask maturation age, which I can only describe as the ultimate Speyside delicacy.” - Master Blender, Rachel Barrie

Benriach The Smoky Ten Miniature
SUBLIMELY SMOOTH INTRODUCTION TO BENRIACH SWEET SMOKE
“Intense smoked applewood flavour with honeyed sugar maple, all woven together with rich layers of smoke.”
- Rachel Barrie, Master Blender
The Smoky Ten is distilled using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. This wood rich Highland peat imparts distinctly sweet and smoky notes into Benriach peated whiskies. Enriched with three cask maturation using bourbon barrels, toasted virgin oak and Jamaican rum casks for layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and toasted oak spice. The Smoky Ten is an ideal introduction for explorers wanting to try a different style of peated whisky to the more traditional Islay malts.
