In September 2020, BenRiach Distillery presented the first whiskies from its new basic offer. It represents three profiles of this single malt – classic Speyside, smoky-peat Speyside (distilled for 5-6 weeks a year) and “triple distilled” (distilled for 1-2 weeks per year). In the 70s. of the last century, Benriach began limited distillation from barley malted with peat. Peat comes from the Highlands and was formed by the decomposition of forest flora; it lacks the marine elements inherent in peat from the island of Islay. BenRiach The Smoky Twelve is a blend of classic and smoky-peat BenRiach aged in three types of barrels – bourbon, sherry and marsala – for at least 12 years. The whiskies from the new range are the work of Rachel Barrie, master of Brown-Forman blendage.

PRODUCENT - Whisky
The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings. The so-called popular tulip glasses, the shape of which allows you to retain the aroma of whiskey, which is important during tasting. During the tasting, apart from the smell, the taste on the tongue, the finish and the balance of the whole are also assessed, often on a scale of 100 points. The whiskey served may be slightly diluted with water, which reduces the intensity of the flavor. It is also popular to serve whiskey with ice (on the rocks) or with cola, but the latter can be controversial.
