Strong peat flavor. Tastes like the primary grain was smoked peat aged in oak barrels. A drop of water brings out sweet honey vanilla flavors. Overall very enjoyable if you're a fan of smoky scotch.

Quite enjoyable with well balanced peat and flavors of vanilla, honey, light fruit and barley finish. Esp. Impressive for a 10 year old. Price point seems ok. A fine dram for a winter evening by the fire

The peat isn't shy, but it's not too aggressive or as challenging as an Islay. Lots of meaty sweetness behind the smoke, the nose carrying vanilla and grilled orange, while the palate is rich with salted caramel and toffee with a light sherry finish. It's a classically sweet Speyside in the cozy smoke of a campfire. Delicious

Finally got around to cracking open my bottle and after tasting, I'm kicking myself for not opening it earlier. Loved the smokiness and paired with a great Cohiba Singlo what a great way to spend a couple of hours.

I am not fun of peaty wisky but BenRiach is not too smokey. Bitter after taste. Interesting but definetly not my favorit.

Viktor, Jun 1, 2019

Amazing taste

Rebecca, Mar 15, 2019

A little harsh, even for a 10yr. The peat/smoke is definitely front loaded, with a bit of oaky resin in the finish. Good, but not my favorite.

Will, Feb 26, 2019

Smokey, Vanilla, phenols and a hint of sweetness!! Worth a try!!

Frank, Feb 24, 2019

Balanced peat with honey, vanilla and barley notes.

MJ, Dec 30, 2018

So smoky, so silky. A long aftertaste with some barley notes.

Edward, Dec 29, 2018

Now one of my favorites. Peaty which I love. Will be ordering again and again. Simply outstanding.

Chad, Dec 5, 2018

Fruity, crisp nose. Not a very strong alcohol taste and kind of bland but drinkable and good flavor.

Karolis, Aug 21, 2018

I found it lacking taste compared to the the other two in the box

alexey, Jul 28, 2018

Smoky, peaty, and salty in perfect proportions. A hint of vanilla but not overpowering. Very smooth and pleasant.

Ben, Jul 21, 2018

Nose: caramel, burnt toffee, butterscotch, Taste: Moist buttery arrival, light smokey and peaty notes, candid fruit. Bottled at 46% some heat on the finish without water. With water and some time a sweetness of some honey vanilla creep in as well as some cereal notes at the top of the glass.

Mark, May 12, 2018

Smoother than expected. Peaty, but not overpowering. Great for an intro to peatier scotch’s

Dave, May 4, 2018

I enjoy peaty Scotch and this was a milder peat to me. It was tasty, with a nice, smooth vanilla/honey finish and a nifty nose of the sea. If Laphroaig or Ardbeg are too peaty for you, then the mildness of this might work for you.

William, May 2, 2018

Unique for a speyside. Heavily peated but I feel that it cuts off the other flavors before they can develop

Jacob, Apr 4, 2018

I love me some peat... but it was just ok.

Michael, Mar 21, 2018

Its good but if you like the peat there are better drams.

Christine, Feb 2, 2018

Smokey and sweet - nice and rich. A little extra kick from the 46% alcohol content, but it actually complements the flavor. Would never have guessed this was a Speyside - much more like an Islay!

Jedediah, Feb 1, 2018

Not something I liked a bit to smoky for me

Daniel, Dec 27, 2017

It's a good scotch. Phenols overwhelms the smoke more than I prefer with a bit of a noticable burn that lasts. The honey does come out great with the smoke and a little vanilla. Overall pretty good for a 10 year.

Tristan, Dec 18, 2017

Apple peel and spice on the nose. Oily and creamy palate with notes of custard and baking spice. I would drink this again.

Joshua, Dec 8, 2017

Tasty, beautiful, well-balanced whisky. Not what I was expecting from a Speyside and surprisingly low price point.

guest, Nov 1, 2017

Beautiful peaty taste.

Brian, Oct 24, 2017

One of my favourite peated malts.

Andrew, Oct 20, 2017

Disgusting! I’ve had better $20 bottles of scotch.

James, Sep 26, 2017

Smokey and good, great finish.

Avrom, Aug 5, 2017

Solid 10 year. Neat smoky start with a vanilla finish.

Johann, Jul 21, 2017

Smokey, with a good dose of phenols.

Polona, Jun 14, 2017

Strong peaty - farmy, mineraly Not balanced sweetness in the taste

Robert, May 31, 2017

too much of a smoke flavor, tastes like someone dropped some liquid smoke into the bottle

Andrew, May 11, 2017

Great flavor. Smooth and smokey finish. If you like scotch, this is very pleasant.

Richard, Mar 26, 2017

Great for the price

Alex, Mar 6, 2017

Nicely smoky with just enough sweet to notice it; the peat is not over baring at all. Makes for a very nice drink to sip.

Kenneth, Feb 23, 2017

Spicy on the first sip, but it smooths out on the second sip. Sweet on the nose with an awesome smokey peat to round it out.

Stephen, Jan 26, 2017

Delicious! The aroma is dominated by honey, and it hits hard on the first sip. It's light on the smoke. A very 'warm' scotch.
