The Benriach Curiositas Peated 10 year 750 ml

The BenRiach Curiositas 10 Year is a peated single malt Scotch whisky, an outlier for the Speyside distillery, which is better known for unpeated, fruit-driven malts. Curiositas takes the same distillery character and runs it through peated barley, layering smoke over BenRiach's usual orchard-fruit sweetness. Expect a nose of campfire smoke and honeyed malt, a palate that balances peat with vanilla and stone fruit, and a smoky, moderately long finish. It's a good entry point for drinkers who want peat without the full maritime intensity of an Islay malt, and it shows how flexible a distillery's character can be with different barley.

How to drink BenRiach Curiositas 10 Year

Neat, with a drop of water if you want the fruit under the smoke to show more clearly.
