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
Glen Grant 12 Year Old
Glen Grant 12 Year Old is a bright, elegant Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks to deliver a refined balance of orchard fruit, vanilla and subtle spice. This award-winning expression from The Glen Grant distillery showcases the finesse of traditional Speyside whisky-making, with a focus on clarity, smoothness and layered flavour. The whisky is aged for twelve years in hand-selected American oak barrels and sherry-seasoned casks, allowing it to develop both delicate and rich characteristics. On the nose, it opens with honey, pear and apple, accented by almond and citrus. The palate reveals apple pie crust, caramel and vanilla, with hints of toffee and toasted nuts that add depth. The sherry influence brings a gentle richness, while the texture remains light and silky. The finish is lingering and fruity, with subtle spice that rounds out the experience.
