Benriach Smoke Season 52,8%vol. 0,7l
Product number:
19782
In the early 1970s, the Scottish Benriach distillery returned to the old distillation style of the 19th century and used malted barley that was smoked with Highland peat.
It was a daring, unconventional move into the Speyside whiskey region for making it of unpeated Single Malt Whiskys.
Benriach has made use of this creative approach to this day by peating during their "smoke season" makes Whiskys.
It's a time of year when the smoky aromas of the powerful Highland peat stream through every corner of the distillery in Moray.
This highland peat with its predominant proportion of wood from old trees, heather and fern roasts the malt and produces d distinctly sweet and aromatic smoke aromas in the Whisky.
