Discover the most intensely smoky expression ever crafted by the legendary Speyside distillery. Benriach Smoke Season is a small-batch, highly anticipated annual release that challenges traditional regional conventions. Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie breaks the mold by utilizing 100% heavily peated malted barley, resulting in a rich, multi-layered spirit that perfectly balances intense campfire smoke with luscious, toasted sweetness.
Unlike heavily medicinal Islay whiskies, Smoke Season relies entirely on Scottish mainland Highland peat. This gives the whisky a uniquely sweet, aromatic wood-smoke profile. Bottled at a robust 52.8% ABV and non-chill filtered with completely natural color, it delivers a massive, creamy mouthfeel and a brilliantly long-lasting finish.
The Double-Cask Maturation Process
To stand up to the intense peat, the spirit undergoes a careful double-cask aging regimen:
- First-Fill Bourbon Barrels: Infuses smooth, rich notes of vanilla, orchard fruits, and classic caramel sweetness.
- Charred American Virgin Oak Casks: Amplifies the deeply toasted wood properties, imparting intense baking spices and structural oak depth.
Official Tasting Notes
- Color: Brilliant burnished gold.
- Nose (Aroma): Sweet barbecue smoke, rich caramel, vanilla buttercream, citrus peel, and warm baking spices.
- Palate (Taste): Bold and full-bodied. Intense waves of campfire ash and sweet dark vanilla merge seamlessly with seared apples, cinnamon, and hints of savory hickory.
- Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, balancing dry oak spice with sweet, lingering charred orange.
