Benromach Contrasts: Peat Smoke Bourbon Barrel Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
Benromach Contrasts: Peat Smoke Bourbon Barrel pairs the distillery's heavily peated spirit (around 55ppm) with maturation exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels. The bourbon-cask focus highlights the interaction between peat smoke and the vanilla-and-coconut character of fresh American oak.
Hand-crafted at Speyside's smallest working distillery. Where the sherry-cask version brings dried-fruit depth, this bourbon-only release keeps the spotlight squarely on the smoke and the wood.
A bold expression for the bourbon-cask peat enthusiast — neat or with a drop of water.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Bold and aromatic — peat smoke, vanilla, coconut, honey, soft caramel, and a touch of charred oak — concentrated and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Full and warmly smoked — sweet smoke, vanilla cream, soft caramel, honey, gentle pepper, and toasted oak — layered with strong bourbon-cask influence.
FINISH
Long and warmly smoked — lingering peat, vanilla, soft caramel, and a gentle oak warmth fading slowly — bold and refined.
ABV: 46% ABV
