On today's whisky tasting and review I sample the Benriach 'The Twelve' and see how the three cask maturation impacts this expression.

I have seen many whisky youtubers and gotta say that you are really improving the review style by adding pictures of flavors, and explaining where the flavors come from. Really enjoyed the video :)

[@pecostojanovski]

Great whiskey but I enjoy the 10 a little more and the the 15 is the bomb

[@McIntyresMalts]

I need to check out some other Benriachs for sure

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Great video Wade and yes I think this is a fantastic whisky, really hats off to Dr. Rachel Barrie for the perfect vatting of those casks. The Dalmore Trio has the same combination of casks, obviously in which percentage we don't know, but if you come across it, I'd recommend that one as well. Value for money though, this one blows the Dalmore out of the water of course! Slainte 🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thanks for the recommendation mate, will keep an eye out!

[@mattball2700]

Just came across this. Never found it - but The Smoky 12 is the best thing I've ever had. TY!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Hey Matt! Yeah I have had a few people suggest the smoky 12 to me. Will need to track that version down 🥃

[@GWDH19]

According to their website, this whisky has a 'natural cask-imparted colour'

[@McIntyresMalts]

Ah, awesome. Thanks for letting me know!

[@MichaelOrk]

​@@McIntyresMaltsNot only on the website but also on the back of the tube is the "natural cask-imparted colour" statement. Now I'm enjoying a dram of this malt while watching your video 🥃

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thank you @@MichaelOrk ! I love hearing when people dram along with my reviews! 🥃 Cheers my friend

[@MichaelOrk]

@@McIntyresMalts That's what this is all about... watching a review of a whisky I also have on my shelf, so I can drink along 🥃 And you did a lot of reviews with malts I own... 👍🏼

[@McIntyresMalts]

@@MichaelOrk More to come my friend!

[@FreedsFirstTime_Whisky_Reviews]

Great minds!! I am about to put out a vid on BenRiach 12 Sherry Wood! Great stuff as always Wade. Definitely need to track this one down!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Ah very cool! Keen to see what the sherry wood one is all about!!

[@Dai240888]

The old BenRiach 12 Sherry Wood is great. It's like a better version of the Glendronach 12 with 46 % abv. I had the new 12 as a sample and it was ok, but nothing compared to the old 12 sherry wood. But this video made me realize that i should give it a try again. The three cask vatting has to give a complex side which should change depending on the day and mood etc. Maybe i will appreciate it more then when i try it a few more times. And it may not make sense to compare it to the old version as it is a whole new approach to the whisky.

[@hamo4558]

I must try this one, i really enjoyed the "THE TEN" upon recommendation.

[@McIntyresMalts]

You should! They have some good affordable whiskies.

[@jdb9388]

got it for $75 so got 2 bottles for $150 its a pleasant dram, shout out from Melbourne Victoria

[@McIntyresMalts]

Can't beat that price! Nice win mate 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I keep seeing it on the shelf, but keep passing it by. Next time I see it I'll pick up a bottle. I'll let you know what I think when I do. Cheers!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Keen to get your thoughts, it seems to split the crowd this one!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

@@McIntyresMalts just had it! It's a very soft well rounded sipper. It's not to complex, but interesting enough to try and dig tasting notes out of the 3 casks. I like it.

[@carlossandiego7925]

This one is on my list but I wasn’t sure whether to go with the Smoky 12 or this one. Nice review.

[@McIntyresMalts]

I'm keen to try the smoky too (I am definitely partial to peat 😉), will need to do a comparison of the two!

[@jeanfrancoisdumoulin768]

its my favourite scotch. awesome one

[@McIntyresMalts]

Thanks mate 🥃🙌

[@GWDH19]

Have you ever tried the Benriach smoky twelve? It's delicious.. Edit: Now I hear you mentioning it at the end 😅

[@McIntyresMalts]

Not yet! I only mentioned it in the video, but have yet to try!

[@GWDH19]

@@McIntyresMalts I'm looking forward to it. I'm not a big peathead, but with a few drops of water it gets very sweet and delicious.
