Is BenRiach The Twelve aged only in sherry casks?
No. BenRiach matures The Twelve for at least 12 years across sherry casks, bourbon barrels, and port casks before marrying the whiskies together.
Is BenRiach The Twelve smoky?
The standard BenRiach The Twelve is an unpeated Speyside single malt, and the distillery lists its smoke level as nil. Drinkers seeking peat should look for the separately named BenRiach The Smoky Twelve.

BenRiach describes baked fruit, maple honey, cocoa, maraschino cherry, orange, and hazelnut. Sherry and port contribute much of the dark-fruit richness, while bourbon barrels help supply vanilla and structure.

The Twelve is bottled at 46% ABV with natural cask-imparted color. That bottling strength supports its rich fruit and spiced-mocha profile without making it a cask-strength whisky.
