- | |||
- | | {{whisky: | ||
- | | ::: |BenRiach, established in 1898 is one of the few distilleries with its own on-site floor maltings. Curiositas uses a heavily peated malted barley as the cereal varietal to produce a unique, fresh, peated expression.| | ||
- | | ::: |A rare peated single malt, from the Heartland of Speyside, Curiositas has wonderful overtones of peat reek, combined cleverly with a background of fruity, floral, beatbery notes and an appealing presence of oak wood in the finish. Traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion after 10 years of maturation.| | ||
- | | ::: |In fact peated BenRiach is a return to the original Speyside character and flavour of malts typical of the nineteenth century. Curiositas is a distinctive and welcome addition to the Speyside scene - this is a dram to be savoured with a dash of water.| | ||
