This Turntable – Smokin' Riff is a distinctive blended Scotch whisky where smoke takes center stage, supported by sweeter and fruity counterpoints. The style is powerful and expressive, yet always balanced by carefully chosen blend components.
The composition of the blend is as follows:
32% Caol Ila , matured in a virgin oak cask, with a leading note of campfire smoke.
9% Knockdhu , also from virgin oak, which adds softer notes of vanilla and toffee.
21% Teaninich , matured in a PX puncheon, with stewed fruit notes.
24% Benrinnes , also from a PX puncheon, responsible for deep notes of amarena cherries.
14% North British grain whisky from virgin oak casks, which brings round toffee influences.
Bottled at 46% ABV , without chill filtration and no added colorants, Smokin' Riff retains its full texture and distinct character. The smoke is prominent, but is given a boost by the sweeter and fruitier layers that give the blend depth and tension.
Smokin' Riff is a blend for the smoke lover who looks beyond peat and appreciates contrast, layering, and intensity.
