Benriach Arumaticus Fumosus Heavily Peated Rum Cask Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany–ruby edges, a warm, inviting glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke swirls from the glass, mingling medicinal notes with tar and ash. A rum-rich undercurrent—molasses, dried tropical fruit, vanilla and warming spice—emerges softly, adding honeyed depth to a bold, smoky perfume that lingers.

Palate

Smoky peat marries rum-kissed sweetness from Jamaican casks: vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit weave through cocoa and molasses. Silky with a spicy lift of ginger and black pepper, finishing long, smoky and intriguingly tropical.

Finish

Long, smoky finish where hefty peat coats the tongue with char and ember. The Jamaican rum cask adds caramel and dark fruit notes that linger, weaving vanilla and spice into the smoke. Warm, drying and beautifully persistent, it fades with a refined, rum-kissed ember.
