Benriach – The 12 Year Old Three Cask Matured (70cl, 46%)

Benriach Twelve is a Speyside single malt matured for at least twelve years in three types of cask: sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each is then married together. It is bottled at 46% in a 70cl bottle. The result is a sherry-rich malt with layers of baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa. The nose is rich maple honey, cocoa and baked forest fruit. On the palate there is maraschino cherry, baked orange and hazelnut, leading to a lingering finish of sultana and spiced mocha.
