TASTING NOTES - BENRIACH THE SMOKY TWELVE

Nose

It delivers scents of smoke, a hint of peat, orange zest, vanilla, oak and some balsamic nuances. Inviting.

Palate

Smooth. There are aromas of oak, vanilla and honey, together with the orange zest and the toasted notes perceived to the nose as well. All is enriched by intense smoky notes that are not overwhelming the rest of the flavor profile.

Finish

The persistence is medium long. Oak, smoky notes and vanilla.

Overall, the Benriach The Smoky Twelve is a smooth Scoth, easy to enjoy but at the same time boasting a fairly broad and structured flavor profile. The smoky notes are rich but they are well calibrated in order to not prevale on the rest of the aromas. Rich and fulfilling.
