Benriach The Twelve 12 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Three-cask maturation brings together baked orchard fruit, sultana and cocoa over a smooth, honeyed malt core.

Bersano 2010 Badarina Barolo Riserva
Dark berry, roasted coffee and menthol lead, followed by dried black cherry, liquorice and a measured toasted note.
