Benriach 12 Year Old Arumaticus Fumosus - Peated Dark Rum Cask

This Arumaticus 12yo is my first peated bottle, it has heavy peat nose. Once night I drunk and put the glass near my bed, there has a beautiful peated in my bedroom when I wake up in the morning. Then I fall in love with Peated Scotch. And just now that I know a news, this part of release of just 1,240 bottles. What a pity that I drunk so quickly.

Distilled from peated malt in 1985, it was poured into Cask No. 7190, which previously held Pedro Ximenez sherry. 26 years later, in July 2012, it yielded only 211 bottles. As with all BenRiach...
