Benriach Dunder Peated Rum Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with a burnished copper sheen and a mahogany edge, hinting at rich, rum-kissed warmth.

Nose

Peat smoke sits atop a luxurious core of dark fruit, molasses and burnt sugar, lifted by vanilla and toffee from the rum cask. Dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa nibs and toasted oak, brightened by orange zest. Cinnamon and clove spice thread through, with a subtle maritime breeze that hints at Benriach’s elegant Speyside character.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate of smoke and dark rum sweetness. Molasses, raisins, and caramel mingle with tropical fruit and spice—clove, nutmeg, vanilla. Rich oak cushions the mid-palate, while the peat remains refined and balanced. Long, cocoa-dusted finish with a warm echo of tobacco.

Finish

Long, smoky finish that fades peat into dark rum sweetness, leaving a warm halo across the palate. Vanilla, toffee and cocoa unfold, mingling with spice—clove and nutmeg—while dried fruit and oak linger. Silky richness coats the mouth, with a charred, tropical warmth that persistently whispers for another sip.
