Benriach's Batch 2 is a flavour bomb that sets a benchmark for bold Speysiders: On the nose, Highland smoke is matched by fruity spirit until thick, sooty, lanolin notes win out. A malt of epic proportions with a fat, oily and completely mouthfilling attack that combines fruit and wood smoke with liqueur-like richness. The finish reminds you it's cask strength, ending with a thrust of spirit and a spike of pepper heat. A whisky to get you through Winter.
