BenRiach 12 Years Old The Twelve Three Cask Matured Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
BenRiach The Twelve Three Cask Matured is the core 12-year expression from BenRiach Distillery in Longmorn, Speyside — presenting the distillery’s multi-cask philosophy at the standard age statement with three distinct cask types (ex-bourbon American oak, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez) contributing to a balanced, fruit-forward, and accessible Speyside character.
The Three Cask Matured descriptor identifies the specific cask combination — ex-bourbon providing vanilla and grain sweetness, Oloroso sherry adding dried fruit and warm spice, and PX contributing concentrated sweetness and dark fruit. At 12 years the three-cask combination is well-integrated and presents the full BenRiach house style at its most accessible age statement. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
