Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 46% ABV
Benriach The Twelve is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky defined by its "three cask matured" process, where the spirit is aged for at least 12 years in a combination of Sherry casks, Bourbon barrels, and Port casks. This marriage of casks creates a smooth, multi-layered profile with a notable sherry influence and rich fruit notes.
