BenRiach The Original Ten 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

BenRiach The Original Ten 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a core expression from the historic BenRiach Distillery, founded in 1898 in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. Known for its inventive approach to maturation and layering of flavor, BenRiach has long been admired by Scotch enthusiasts for crafting whiskies that combine tradition with innovation. The Original Ten embodies the distillery’s classic house style—fruit-forward, balanced, and approachable.

Crafted from a combination of unpeated spirit matured in bourbon barrels, sherry casks, and virgin oak, this single malt develops complexity over a full decade of aging. The use of multiple cask types allows layers of sweetness, fruit, and gentle spice to weave together into a harmonious whisky.

In the glass, it presents a warm golden color. The nose is inviting, with aromas of orchard fruits, honey, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers ripe pear, apricot, vanilla, and honeycomb, accented by light spice and soft malt sweetness. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving behind gentle notes of fruit and oak.

BenRiach The Original Ten is approachable enough for those new to single malts yet layered enough to satisfy seasoned whisky drinkers. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it also pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses or fruit-based desserts, making it a versatile Speyside classic.
