BENRIACH Smoky Ten Whisky Review: A Standout Speyside Find

Benriach Smoky Ten Whisky is the sort of 70 cl bottle that earns its place after supper rather than shouting from the drinks trolley. At 46% ABV, it has enough body to feel warming and textured, with peat smoke, toasted oak and a rounded, honeyed sweetness coming through neatly in the glass. For readers in France, it suits a quiet evening with hard cheese or dark chocolate, though anyone after a very gentle dram may find the smoky edge a touch assertive.
