A whisky that focuses on the richer side of Benriach's spirit, as well as it's darker smokier side. Aged for 12 years in a combination of bourbon, sherry and marsala casks, the peat smoke is complimented by dried fruit and vanilla from the bourbon and sherry casks, and rich, sweet fruit from the marsala.
Tasting Notes

Flamed orange peel, chocolate brownies fresh from the oven, raisins and walnuts.
PALATE
Well-rounded sweetness from the Marsala casks wonderfully juxtaposed with woody smoke and a hint of clove.
FINISH
Almond, orange once again, peppercorn and hickory.
