Benriach Smoke Season 70cl, 52.8%

Description

Benriach Smoke Season 70cl 52.8% is an intensely peated Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that highlights the smoky side of this innovative distillery. Benriach is one of the few Speyside producers with a long-standing tradition of making peated spirit, and Smoke Season was created to showcase that rich, sweet, and smoky character in a bold and modern style.

This expression is bottled at 52.8% ABV and matured in a combination of bourbon barrels and virgin oak casks. That cask combination helps build layers of toasted sweetness, vanilla, oak spice, and smoke, while keeping the distillery’s fruit-driven character underneath.

Benriach describes Smoke Season as having an intense smoke level, making it a strong choice for drinkers who enjoy peated whisky but want something different from the classic coastal or medicinal Islay profile. Instead, this whisky offers a sweeter, richer Speyside interpretation of peat with impressive intensity and texture.

Collector’s Note

Benriach Smoke Season is especially interesting for enthusiasts of modern peated Speyside whisky because it focuses on a production style that remains less common in the region. While it is more of a drinker’s bottle than a traditional long-term collector release, it has strong appeal for Benriach followers and for those building a range of smoky single malts beyond Islay. This collector note is partly an inference based on the bottle’s positioning, official style, and enthusiast interest in peated Speyside releases.
