Benriach – Birnie Moss – Peated Single Malt Whisky

This heavily peated Single Malt Whisky from the Benriach distillery bursts with flavours of sweet vanilla, citrus, juicy stone fruit and barbequed pineapple, all wrapped up in a dense fog of peat smoke. Benriach Birnie Moss is crafted using malted barley smoked with Highland peat, and matured in ex-bourbon casks, enriching Benriach’s fruit-laden style with layers of rich peat and vanilla. The Whisky is bottled at a robust 48% ABV for a bold flavour and a satisfying, full bodied mouthfeel. Rich and smoke infused, with a superb balance of sweet and savoury elements, and a lingering finish of bonfire, walnut, spice and overripe fruit.

Nose: Bold and aromatic with abundant fruit, spice, barbequed meats and bonfire smoke.

Taste: Rich and full bodied with a satisfyingly creamy texture. Sweet vanilla custard, aromatic spices and ripe, juicy stone fruits mingle with intense wafts of smoke and crunchy malt.

Finish: Long and complex. The sweet fruits linger before being overtaken by delicate smoke and nutty spice.
