Curiositas 10y

About

BenRiach Curiositas is a bold expression from the Speyside distillery, where tradition meets experimentation. This 10-year-old single malt features a notably heavy peat profile that defies regional conventions, setting it apart from typical Speyside neighbours. The result is a beautifully balanced and approachable peated whisky that demonstrates Speyside's mastery of smoke and complexity. On the nose, Curiositas reveals aromas of peat smoke and brine, complemented by citrus and subtle floral notes. The palate delivers a full-bodied experience with flavours of sweet raisins, honey, and caramel, gracefully interwoven with peat and black pepper. A saline character adds depth without overwhelming the senses. The finish lingers pleasantly, with smoke persisting against a backdrop of malty sweetness. This whisky pairs beautifully with smoked foods or as an after-dinner dram.
