Description
Distillery bottling Benriach 12 Years Old Horizons Triple Distilled
‘Horizons’ is quite an unique whisky for BenRiach and Speyside. It is triple distilled in the same way as Auchentoshan and Hazelburn, neither are from Speyside. The reason Benriach have this whisky is that the previous owners of BenRiach, Chivas Brothers, performed some experiments with triple distillation at BenRiach back in 1998. The whisky has also been finished for a minimum of 3 years in Oloroso Sherry butts (having started life in ex-bourbon casks). ‘Horizons’ is aged over 12 years old, is non chill filtered, and is bottled at 50% vol. It is packed in a deluxe gift box.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Benriach: Roasted almonds and Brazil
nuts.
Hot, freshly buttered scones smothered in
clotted cream. Sweet heather honey adds
an
extra luxurious contribution. |
| Taste |
| Benriach: Vibrant and wonderfully fresh.
Huge nutty characteristics right from the
start including peanuts, Brazil nuts and
hazelnuts. A slice of sweet creamy oak
and honey brings balance to the
equation. |
