Benriach Smoke Season Whisky

Benriach Smoke Season is a bold, intensely smoky single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, distinguished by its use of Highland peat, which imparts a richer, woodier smoke compared to the coastal profiles of Islay. This expression is crafted by distilling the heavily peated malt only during the "Smoke Season," resulting in a spirit with profound depth and character. It is matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and virgin oak casks, which contribute complex layers of sweet vanilla, toasted spice, and subtle fruit alongside the dominant smoky core. The result is a beautifully balanced, high-intensity whisky that captures the distillery's experimental nature. It’s an exceptional choice for those who appreciate a powerful yet elegant peated dram.
