Nose: honey and peat smoke infused of sweet dates and chocolate fondant.

Finish: Long with honey, dark chocolate and gentle spices
BenRiach 22 Year Old Dark Rum Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$256 @ The Wine Providore w/discount code TWLBR22 (Elsewhere $315+)
Matured in the traditional style in American Bourbon barrels, this whisky is then ‘finished’ in dark rum barrels, sourced from the Caribbean island of Jamaica. During this second period of maturation, the whisky derives many interesting characteristics specific to the Dark Rum barrel, ripe stone fruit infused with vanilla, ginger and tangerine peel. Bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered.
Nose: Vanilla syrup and poached pears, dusted with sweet barley grist, combine with oak spice and candied peel to create a warm contrast.
Colour: Bright polished gold.
Taste: Ripe yellow plums and nectarines infused with vanilla, ginger and tangerine peel. Wild flower honey combined with stewed barley creates an exceptionally luscious. A long finish with rich, dark sugars and warm oak spice of the dark rum casks combine perfectly with orchard fruits and fresh barley character of the classic BenRiach style. A truly exceptional example of the marriage between cask, maturation and spirit.
BenRiach 22 Year Old Dunder Dark Rum Wood Finish Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$280 @ The Wine Providore w/ discount code TWLBR22 (Elsewhere $340+)
Unusual for a Speyside malt, the BenRiach Dunder is distilled from peated malted barley. The whisky is matured in American oak casks and then finished in dark rum barrels. ‘Dunder’ is the name of the cane-juice residue left in the still after distillation; traditionally used as a yeast source in the fermentation process of Jamaican rum. Bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered.
Nose: An intriguing, delicate floral peat smoke floods over cinnamon-spiced apple sponge. Crisp white pepper adds a gentle warmth to the nose.
Colour: Bright summer gold.
Taste: Roasted apples and pears dusted with demerara sugar and lemon peel, all infused with a crisp barley sweetness and lingering wood smoke character.
