The combination of sherry, bourbon and port casks on The Twelve sounds very promising and it doesn’t disappoint. The nose is poached pears and baked apple. In the mouth it’s unusually oily for a 46% whisky, with flavors of spicy pecan pie and stewed fruit. The finish is long on oak spice and butterscotch. My favorite of the four youngest members of the revamped Benriach range.
