BenRiach 10yo Curiositas
What are you pouring on this whisky Wednesday? We’re totally in for a peated BenRiach!
The 10yo Curiositas is a good whisky for people who are looking into peat, but don’t like the medical style that often goes along with it.
To us, the “BenRiach-style peat” is always sweet and sugary, which is nicely demonstrated by this 46% ABV bang for your buck:
Tasting notes
Nose
Shoe polish, citrus, apples, melon and sweet malt.
Palate
Beautifully fruity, a transition from lemons into orchard fruits and gently introducing the finish with liquorice root and slightly savoury notes.
Finish
Sweet barley and peat, a whiff of smoke, earth and dry-cured ham.
Without a doubt a great starter and a welcome change so now and then!
