Benriach The Smoky Twelve 12 Year Old
The Smoky Twelve is the perfect marriage of fruit, malt, oak and rich layers of smoke. Crafted from a combination of unpeated and peated spirit and three cask matured for at least twelve years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and Marsala wine casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, creamy single malt, multi-layered with flavours of ripened fruit, aromatic smoky sweetness and warming oak spice. The appearance is burnished gold, the nose is smoked vanilla, charred orange and toasted almonds. The palate is dark chocolate, fruit peel, brown sugar and smoked oak, lingering into a cocoa and orange smoked finish. "Longer maturation brings more aromatic layers to our distinctive smoky style. For me it's baked orange in a wonderful cake, fired over an open fire, with dark chocolate flavour." - Rachel Barrie - Master Distiller
Fettercairn 12 Year Old Single Malt
Since Sir Alexander Ramsay established the distillery in 1824 they have been going to extraordinary lengths to capture the purest expression of their whisky's character. Located in the foothills of Scotland's Cairngorms, they don't use crystal clear mountain water as an ingredient, they drench their stills with it, cooling the copper so only the finest vapours rise. In the glass this is like amber honey in sunlight. On the nose you get vanilla and pear with soft spices. To taste it is refreshing, nectarine notes and tropical fruit with subtle roasted coffee, cloves and ginger. A memorable finish with hints of sultanas and black toffee.
