This BenRiach 12-Year-Old 2005 (cask 2679) yielded 713 bottles and is one of a seven bottle series that forms the BenRiach single cask selection; Batch 14. This expression was distilled using peated malts and then matured for 12 years in a first-fill port pipe. It’s also only one of two bottles in the collection to be aged in a Port pipe.
All whiskies in Batch 14 are non-chill-filtered with no added colour and are individually hand-numbered.
Please note: There was an issue with the sorting of these Batch #14 bottles and tins either from the source or when distributed in Australia and as a result the individual bottle numbers on the tins DO NOT match up with the individual bottle numbers on the bottle labels.
Colour: Burnished copper.
Nose: Crisp citrus notes through cranberry and apricots, and a dusting of icing sugar adds to sweet campfire wood smoke.
Palate: Mixed red fruit compote holds allspice and a touch of coconut. Delicious ashy peat smoke balances with a crisp oak spice in the finish.
