Whisky Review: BenRiach 10 Year "The Original Ten" Speyside Single Malt Scotch
When it comes to Speyside single malts, we usually expect delicate, fruity profiles that showcase the region's signature style. But as we found out last week with Benromach 10, some Speysides pack an unexpected smoky punch. This week, we turn our attention to BenRiach 10 Year "The Original Ten" , another Speyside whisky that promises its own unique twist. Clocking in at 43% ABV (86 proof) and aged for 10 years , this single malt positions itself as a classic Speyside with a hint of complexity. But does it hold its own against its regional peers? Let’s dive in and see how BenRiach 10 Year fares across our categories. This review is taken from our episode " Inside Out (2015) / BenRiach 10-Year ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Bob: Right off the bat, I’m getting a lot of fresh raisin on this—specifically the kind you get from white grapes. It’s really pleasant and stands out immediately. There’s also some lemon peel and a soft

The 20 Best Cognacs to Drink in 2025
For the second year in a row, Cognac is experiencing a significant downturn in sales, perhaps as much as some 13 percent overall. Insiders chalk this up to China — Cognac’s biggest market by value — levying duties of up to 34.9 percent on European brandy, something widely viewed as retaliatory for the EU’s decision to impose huge import tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. Similar tariff problems abound in the U.S. — Cognac’s biggest market by volume — and consumers seem to be switching to lower-priced bottles. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Pinot Noir from 'one of ' the world's most southern vineyards
Central Otago is a wine buzzword (or two, as the case happens to be here) for Pinot Noir from an edgy environment with a cool climate, dry soils and high volume of vineyard area (and wine) devoted to Pinot Noir.This week I dived into a three year old wine from a vineyard that “was” considered to be the most southern in the world and is also situated in the most eastern of Central Otago’s wine growing areas at a latitude of 45.25 degrees south.
