Benriach Curiositas Peated Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
Out of stock
Curiositas is a heavily peated expression from BenRiach that combines soft sweet fruits, with bold bonfire smoke. The initial sweetness and fruit is followed by an avalanche of peat smoke, and savoury flavours of heather, nuts, oak wood, and spices.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with warm coppery highlights and a sunlit honey hue
Nose
Medicinal at first, with tarmac and bold peat weaving through the nose. Honeyed BenRiach fruit and oak emerge with time, while wisps of heather, nuts, and warm spices drift through the smoke, inviting a refined sweetness beneath the peat.
Palate
Sweet fruit opens, then a bold surge of peat smoke blankets the palate. Medicinal iodine nuances melt into honeyed notes with toasted nuts and dried fruits, all threaded by spicy oak. A savory, heather-tinged warmth lingers as the finish grows smoky, with caramel-sweetness and a touch of charred wood.
Finish
An expansive, ember-smoked finish that lingers with iodine-tinged, nutty notes and dried fruits, anchored by bold spices and charred oak. Sweetness softens to resinous wood, a whisper of wood preservative, then a final, warm, spicy oak glow.
