Dram Of The Day: BenRiach Single Malt Scotch Whisky Peated Curiositas 10 year old

Speyside region. Lossie district.

A notable departure from the usual "Safe" appeal of mid range tasting style , this rare peated Single Malt from the Heartland of Speyside has wonderful overtones of peat reek which combine cleverly with the background of fruity, floral heathery notes that are normally associated with the region. In fact peated BenRiach is a return of the original Speyside character and flavour of malts that are typical of the nineteenth century.

Whisky traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak fusion after 10 years of maturation which is achieved in this whisky.
