Benriach Curiositas Peated 10 Years Old
Distillery: BenriachStyle: Single Malt
Release: Unspecified
Age: 10 Years
Alcohol: 46% abv.
Region: Scotland, Speyside
Bottled For: Distillery
Curiositas uses a heavily peated malted barley as the cereal varietal to produce a unique, fresh, peated expression. This rare peated single malt, from the Heartland of Speyside, has wonderful overtones of peat reek, combined cleverly with a background of fruity, floral, heathery notes and an appealing presence of oak wood in the finish. Traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion, after 10 years of maturation.
