Benriach The Original Ten Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750 ML

The Original Ten encapsulates the signature smooth and multi-layered character of Benriach. Three casks matured for at least ten years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak, to create layers of luscious orchard fruit, sumptuous, honeyed malt, and toasted oak, all interwoven with a subtle trace of smoke. The perfect introduction to our signature style and richly layered Speyside Single Malt.

This 10-year-old single malt from Benriach, was released as part of a new core range launched in 2020. The Original Ten was matured in a trio of casks - bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak casks - imparted a bounty of honeyed fruit and softly toasted oak notes, alongside just a hint of smoke. Top work from Benriach master blender Dr. Rachel Barrie and her team.
