The Benriach The Twelve is a beautifully crafted Speyside single malt that showcases the distillery’s mastery of multi-cask maturation. Aged for at least twelve years, this expression is matured in a combination of sherry casks, bourbon barrels, and port casks. The whiskies from each cask are then expertly married to create a smooth and sherry-rich single malt layered with notes of baked fruit, maple honey, and cocoa. The result is a perfectly balanced whisky with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish—capturing the essence of Benriach’s signature autumnal character.
 
With a golden bronze hue, this non-chill filtered whisky has a nose of rich maple honey, cocoa, and baked forest fruits. The palate reveals maraschino cherry, baked orange, and hazelnut, leading to a long, lingering finish of sultanas and spiced mocha. This expression embodies the depth and complexity that sherry cask maturation brings to Benriach’s spirit.
