BenRiach Authenticus Peated 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch 750ml

A 25 year old from Speyside’s Benriach, made using their peated spirit and sat at the top end of the age range for their peated whisky. This is the follow-up to the much-vaunted Authenticus 21yo and is claimed by the producers to show herb, honey and tropical fruit flavors alongside the smoke.

Bright, warm amber gold. Elegant aromas of ripe pineapple, fresh mountain herbs and a profusion of sweet peat. A huge pungent blast of peat smoke emerges, partnering the peated element perfectly. Full-bodied and audacious. A fantastic fusion of rich peat and smoldering embers bound together by fresh herbs – oregano, aniseed and chicory in particular. A rush of sweet, wild honey provides a lovely contrast to this lively, intense expression.
