Thank you for your comparison of these two whiskys. I don’t know the smoky 10, but only the old Benriach 10 with 43%. I like it, but for me the Benromach 10 (old version) beats it single-handedly.

Great content you create, many interesting details you care about, one notice to title, start from whisky then place your channel name to increase reach, look at other channels how they create title ;)

The Smoky Ten to me is not the best whisky (82-84), but it was the opposite of two dimentionnal, it was very complex. That goes to my point : I noticed huge batch variations with my friends, i found one a bit less complex and big on the peary side. I also think Triple Maturation was too ambitious. This bottling needs big water in the glass imo to get the balance it deserve. Air and time WILL make it better. Cheers

Thanks for your sharing your experience. I haven’t touched it since the review so maybe time has been kind? With revisit it. Thanks for the nudge. Cheers 🥃

Hi John. Actually the Benromach 10 year old (Old Bottling) was matured for the first nine years in a vatting of 4/5 Ex-Bourbon and 1/5 Ex-Sherry Casks and then finished off for a full year in Ex-Sherry casks. It is Natural Colour and that dark brown tint is typical of Sherry Cask influence. The Benromach Peat Smoke (old bottling) is 100% Ex-Bourbon matured.
