An entry in the latin(-ish) named range from Benriach, stepping up from their 10 year old Curiositas with a 17 year old version of their peated Speyside dram. They say it harks back to the older peaty styles of Speyside whisky, we just say it’s rather tasty. From BenRiach’s peated range this Septendecim expression gets its name from the Latin word for seventeen. This beautiful 17-year-old whisky is bottled at 46% abv. Septendecim is complex, with a hint of peat smoke and delicious notes of apple pie, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
