BenRiach is known for its bold approach to whisky making, distilling single malt whisky from both peated and unpeated malted barley. Thanks to this progressive, ‘dual distilling’ heritage, BenRiach enjoys a rare collection of old peated Speyside Single Malt Whiskies. BenRiach is one of just two remaining Speyside distilleries to seasonally produce whisky using malted barley from its own traditional floor maltings. The distillery has earned a reputation for innovation by using many different types of cask for maturing and finishing whisky. Whiskies are non-chill filtered for richness of flavour and are natural in colour.
This fresh and smooth single malt is a Classic Speyside, unpeated and fruity in style. Matured in a mix of American Oak, Virgin Oak, and sherry wood; it is balanced and rich. Bottled at 86º proof and natural colour, the 10 Year Old truly portrays the Classic Speyside Character.

Notes of Scent & Flavor
-
Nose
A fresh and lively combination of crisp, green orchard fruits, stem ginger and hints of tangerine mellows to creamy vanilla with a delicate note of mint and a gentle twist of citrus, all held together with a sweet barley back note. -
Color
Crisp summer gold -
Taste
Warm toasted oak spices flood through green apple skins and dried apricots, ripening to hints of peach and soft banana. Subtle touches of aniseed and lemon zest create a contrasting edge to the fruit and add an intriguing character to the long, crisp barley finish.
“This fresh, lively, fruit-laden single malt captures warm oak spices, green apple, dried apriots, peach and banana with subtle touches of aniseed, lemon zest and barley.”
