To make Benriach Twelve, Benriach spirit is three cask matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, sherry-rich single malt, layered with baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa, perfectly balanced with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish.
NOSE: Maple syrup on blueberry pancakes, dark chocolate, quince and orange.
PALATE: Honeyed cereals, cooked apple, chocolate peanuts and soft, almost jammy sultanas.
FINISH: Mocha, honey, dried fruit and mixed peels.
