Benriach The Smoky Ten

Enjoyable but not very memorable.

Solid and underrated. Its got the typical honey malt and fruity spice flavors as most Speysides, but with a light peat smoke and some nice barrel influence to balance it all out. Well done 👍🥃

This one is kind of a miss for me. The smoke is there, and I think the peaty smokiness is the best part. It has nice malt flavors, but the rum cask aging really throws my palate off - it gives sort of a funky, sweet, pineapple, tropical fruit, citrussy, overly sweet body that wrestles with the smoke in a way that just turns me off. I feel like the rum character could be a nice addition to this malt, but it's too much the main flavor from my point of view than a supporting character. It also has an oxidized funkiness similar to what you might get in sherry finish, but I don't enjoy this heavily rummed scotch it the way I enjoy a heavily sherried scotch. It's not terrible, but I don't particularly enjoy it. I could see someone else liking it. If I could get this corr whisky in a bourbon or sherry aging without the rum, I anticipate that it might really do it for me. If you haven had it, try it and make up your own mind, but as for me... I have no plans to replace this bottle once it's gone.
