Benriach The Original Ten Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Product Information

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Following a series of ownership changes (including Chivas and Pernod), and a small number of unremarkable single malt releases, Benriach was bought by an independent consortium in 2004 and has since gone on to produce one of the industry’s most diverse range of whiskies.

It’s a basic malt, and I definitely want more out of it, but for being an entry-level malt at 43% it’s nice. Nothing off or unpleasant about it, just light and soft – which isn’t a bad thing at all. We need these on the shelves and in our lineups. BenRiach only peats malt for a short period each year, in what they call “Smoke Season.” They source all of their peat from the Highland and Speyside regions. Their peated expressions consist of both peated and unpeated malt. BenRiach The Original Ten is a great intro to BenRiach, Speyside and Single Malt Scotch in general and I’d happily recommend it to new Scotch drinkers as a way to get to know the basic profile of Scotch whisky. It’s a tasty easy drinker and the perfect gateway into the rest of what Scotland has to offer.Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 20th Anniversary Edition Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2019 Scotland, home of many bogs, has a great natural resource in peat. The initial use for peat in whisky was a practical one. After malting, barley needs to be dried before the next step.

Nose: Orange marmalade right away, this bouquet is very deep. The jamminess drys into tobacco and a hint of vanilla. Aroma is a tad waxy, not Clyenlish level, and has a nice earthy-malty character that sits alongside a warm fruitiness that comes through like a gourmet fruit candy; Palate is rather basic but is good and fruity with a strong malty presence that’s super easy to sip and enjoy; Finish is warm, soft and fruity.

Not all peat is the same. The organic matter that decays influences the type of peat, and thus the flavor of it. The isles, with Islay being the biggest and most prominent peat producer, tend to have more heather and low-lying plant life. This results in the biggest and boldest peat flavors. Highland peat is lighter than its Islay counterpart. The region has more forests and consequently has peat made of tree roots and hardier plant life. Many peated whisky distillers, both within and without Scotland, source their peat from both regions for more available flavor profiles. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

On the nose: sweet honey initially with a big hit of green apples and pears. I get subtle earthiness coming through with juicy raisins that turn into stewed apples, almost like an apple strudel with the buttery pastry. Over time, a lovely malty creaminess begins to invade, it reminds me of the frothy top of a warming porridge. I could not escape from the smell of soy wax and dried bean-curd with vanilla pods almost like a creamy rice pudding. Rhubarb and cream sweeties show its presence with hints of freeze-dried strawberries almost like a box of Kellogg’s Special K. Hazelnuts and the beginnings of cloves also begin to appear with a wafting of cedarwood.Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Mothballed in 1900, but reopened for distillation in 1965, Benriach is a distillery on the up after a difficult start. It was originally opened at the end of the 19th century by John Duff, owner of Longmorn, and continued to provide malt to their sister distillery until the 1960s.
