Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%
This Benromach Contrasts Peat Smoke release was distilled in 2014 and bottled at 46% in 2023 without colouring or chill flirtation.
Benromach's Contrasts series is a great way to explore the different experimental malts produced at Gordon & MacPhail's small but beautiful Speyside distillery, and the series is home to Benromach's triple-distilled and organic single malts as well as their peated spirit.
This 2014 Benromach Contrasts: Peat Smoke 2014 was full term matured in first fill sherry hogshead casks, a departure form 2022's bourbon-matured version, and was peated to a potent 55ppm, so this should be a sweet, phenolic treat.
