A decent attempt at creating an Islay type malt from a Speyside distillery.
Lovely peated malt, not one to make the toes curl like some of the Islay's but enough peat smoke that you know this is not a normal malt. As an Islay fan I appreciate this, has an almost Islay taste but not quite..
At £32 this is actually cheaper than the recent deal on Amazon
In the early 1970s, Benriach broke convention in Speyside by returning to distilling batches of whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. This wood rich Highland peat imparts distinctly sweet and smoky notes into Benriach peated whiskies. Benriach The Smoky Ten has been crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks and toasted virgin oak. The whisky is then expertly married together to create sublimely smooth layers of sunripe fruit, aromatic smoke and toasted oak spice, lingering into the perfectly balanced sweet and smoky finish.
No added colour
Bottled at 46% ABV so much higher than most high street offerings

sorted by"I dare say there aren't 5 peated whiskies on the market for under £40 that could get anywhere near this. I think it would still be good value at say £48 a bottle."
good price nonetheless
