BenRiach, Authenticus, Peated, 25 y.o.

Distilled from peated malted barley, this whisky demonstrates a fusion of rich peat and smouldering embers with herbs and honey. Bottled at 46%, non chill filtered and at natural colour. The Authenticus range has been released at 21 years old, 25 years old and 30 years old. All three are now discontinued.

NOSE
Elegant aromas of ripe pineapple, fresh mountain herbs and a profusion of sweet peat. A huge pungent blast of peat smoke emerges, partnering the peated element perfectly. Full bodied and audacious.

COLOUR
Bright, warm amber gold.

PALATE
A fantastic fusion of rich peat and smouldering embers bound together by fresh herbs – oregano, aniseed and chicory in particular. A rush of sweet, wild honey provides a lovely contrast to this lively, intense expression.
