Benriach The Twelve 12 Year Old
BenRiach The Twelve is a richly layered Speyside single malt, triple cask matured for a minimum of twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, and port casks. The whisky from each cask is expertly married together by Master Blender Rachel Barrie to create a smooth, sherry-rich expression of genuine depth and complexity, layered with baked fruit, maple honey, and cocoa, and finished with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha warmth. Why You'll Love It The Twelve showcases BenRiach's signature triple cask maturation philosophy, where sherry, bourbon, and port casks each contribute a distinct layer of character before being married into a single, harmonious whole. The result is a whisky that is simultaneously rich and approachable, with the dark berry depth of sherry maturation balanced by the sweetness of bourbon and the fruit lift of port. As Master Blender Rachel Barrie puts it: "Sherry rich maturation brings incredible depth to this expression and layers of dark berry fruits. It encaptures the flavours of BenRiach in the autumn." An outstanding everyday dram and an ideal introduction to the BenRiach style. Distillery & Maturation BenRiach distillery has been producing whisky in the heart of Speyside since 1898. The Twelve is triple cask matured for a minimum of twelve years in three distinct cask types: sherry casks, bourbon barrels, and port casks. Each parcel of whisky develops its own character during maturation before being expertly married together by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, creating a whisky of layered complexity that is greater than the sum of its parts. Tasting Notes The appearance is a warm golden bronze. The nose is full of rich maple honey, cocoa, and baked forest fruit. On the palate, maraschino cherry, baked orange, and hazelnut lead the way, with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish that is long, warming, and deeply satisfying. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the fruit and spice aromas. Perfect Serve Enjoy neat to
