• Really a nice whisky and lots going on for an “entry” single malt. Nice oak and lots of fruit. A great foundation for their line.

• Whiskey Consensus
• By Matthew Evans
• For someone just dipping their toes in the malty world of Single Malts, this Speyside offering would be a fantastic purchase. At $55 this is what I’d consider a fantastic value and a bottle I’d absolutely love to have on my shelf

• The finish has a lingering touch of ginger along with allspice, dried fruits, honey, and a hint of citrus for a well-balanced and complex dram.

• Distiller
• By Jacob Grier
• It also boasts a pleasant touch of brininess, and the finish hints at sweet elderflower. It has the makings of a go-to everyday dram.

• The Whiskey Wash
• By Talia Gragg
• The body is light all the way through. Just a touch of that fruit up front, bright, juicy peach and red grapefruit. This warms and sweetens to the back palate with note of red wine and cocoa.

• By Gavin Smith
• Hazelnuts, drinking chocolate, and light spices surface in the medium-length finish, with just a wisp of smoke.

• The Whiskey Jug
• By Josh Peters
• BenRiach The Original Ten is a great intro to BenRiach, Speyside and Single Malt Scotch in general and I’d happily recommend it to new Scotch drinkers as a way to get to know the basic profile of Scotch whisky. It’s a tasty easy drinker and the perfect gateway into the rest of what Scotland has to offer.

• Drinkhacker
• By Christopher Null
• The palate is quite malty and chewy, big with cereal notes and that classic burlap sack character. Some applesauce finally fruits up the finish, which is otherwise gritty and a bit smoldering.

• Whisky Monster
• By Koray Kaan Özdemir
• BenRiach The Original Ten shows typical flavors from all three cask styles without overpowering each other. It feels more complex and luscious than a 10-year-old Speysider.
