Whiskies from 'Benriach Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Benriach Distillery.

• BenRiach "Curiositas" peated malt, 10 Years Old

A Speyside? The most Islayish of all the Speysides I have ever tasted. Interesting as a freak even if wood toughens the whole profile a little.

• BenRiach 'Authenticus' Peated Single Malt 21 Years Old

Another region-buster and a good one too.

• BenRiach 16 Years Old

• BenRiach 21 Years Old

Reveals a rich profile by a succession of aromatic layers. Alcohol is perfectly tamed.

• BenRiach 25 Years Old

Another killer from Mr Walker’s warehouse. Distillery of the year for me.

• BenRiach 30 Years Old

Soft, subtle and not overwooded. Just shades it over the 25yo this time.

• BenRiach Bottled for Craigellachie Hotel 1976

Very enjoyable and marked up for balance and poised integration.

• BenRiach Curiositas, 10 Years Old

Quite a nice dram but a bit edgy.

• BenRiach Dark Rum Finish

A cheery dram, opening up on the sunny side with definite rum colours on the nose. A dash of water sweetens the palate.

• BenRiach Madeira wood finish

Balanced and with good weight. A good addition to the range.

• BenRiach Over 12 Years Old

Herbal in the dry way. Leaves a bitter grassy note in the finish. I'd rather have a cup of tea.

• BenRiach Over 20 Years Old

Muscular. Welcome in a blizzard but don't expect Mozart when you are likely to get Wagner.

• BenRiach Pedro Ximinez Sherry Wood Finish

A cheery dram, opening up on the sunny side with the definite rum colours on the nose. A dash of water sweetens the palate.
