BenRiach's The Smoky Ten proves that Speyside can deliver refined smoke without shouting about it! This 10-year-old single malt blends honey and pepper with a subtle, pleasantly smoky finish that keeps drawing you back for another sip.
BenRiach was experimenting with peated malt back in the 1970s – a rarity in Speyside at the time. This pioneering spirit eventually led to The Smoky Ten, where the peat from local heathland produces a more refined, different smoke profile than the famous Islay peat.
Pair The Smoky Ten with smoked salmon or smoked cheese. The whisky's smoky and sweet notes echo the smoked flavours of the dish, while the honey and pepper undertones beautifully balance the rich fattiness of salmon or cheese.
