Benriach The Twelve

Benriach “The Twelve”-  Spring is a time for renewal in all things.  Our subject malt has been matured and crafted in 3 very different casks…port wine, bourbon, and sherry.  This unique trio gave birth to a terrific flavor profile and a rich floral nose.  I found complex fruit and honey immediately and with the second taste some chocolate notes.  The thing about this whisky is its mellow power, and no that’s not a contradiction. Refresh your glass and you can actually taste the 3 wood barrels…..The bronze color and fresh punchy strength ( 92 proof), make for a perfect spring dram.  Renew your pre-dinner drink with this charming Speyside malt and put some beautiful spring flowers on the table as well.  Rated a solid 8 on the snob scale.  Slàinte
