BenRiach Curiositas 10 Year

Smokin' gun. Mixing with a curiosity cola (coincidence) and with iceberg.Heavens gates

Let's get one with this one.Smoke on the ginger beer

finally got to taste this tonight. wanted to for a long time. price point just right at the moment !! the nose is absolutely wonderful, sweet peat, peaches, mesmerizing nose, absolutely wonderful. For a minute I thought I had a new most favourite. palate slightly lets the nose down. Dont get me wrong, its still good but doesnt live up the expectation that the nosing creates. peat, honey, well blended. medium length... finish is smooth, not peppery at all, sweetness lasts for a while. This lies somewhere between ledaig 10 and JW green, more towards the ledaig 10. not a Ledaig 10, but enjoyable none-the-less.

Amontillado color. Loads of cereal grain, sweet vanilla cream and grape jelly all infused with a vein of black pepper, peat, and smoke. The smoke verges on smoked meat occasionally, but it never really goes overboard. Very sweet and grapey on the initial palate. Opens to an abundance of honey, biscuits, cookies, grape jam and black pepper on an increasingly dry finish. Slow to open, but enjoyable all the same. Definitely remember more wow factor from the Benriach Smoky 10. Will check back.

Neat. Light legs with a smokey peat nose. Smoke first into a light smooth sweet and then the smoke comes back like a good brisket. Very light in color and not strong straight. A pretty good sleeper peated whiskey.

Smokey and sweet.
