Benriach Curiositas Peated 10 Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
Description
In the early 1970s, BenRiach returned to distilling whisky in the old, 19th century style, using malted barley smoked with Highland peat. It was a bold move which broke convention,
in a Speyside whisky-making region known for crafting
unpeated whiskies. The wood rich Highland peat we use to
craft peated BenRiach spirit is sourced from the region's
fertile landscape, imparting sweet, smoky campfire notes
into our whisky. For over four decades, we have been
quietly maturing peated BenRiach spirit in our traditional,
earthen floored dunnage warehouses, in an intriguing range
of carefully selected casks. Historical whisky research
indicates BenRiach was the first distillery within Speyside to
reintroduce peated malt into its whisky making. This has led
us to believe it holds the oldest maturing peated whiskies in
the region, which can now be savoured by those curious to
discover a new style of smoky single malt.
