Benromach Contrasts Peat Smoke Sherry Cask
Part of Benromach’s Contrasts Range, this smoky single malt is produced in very small batches using barely malts with high levels of peat smoke (55ppm to be precise). Matured in first-fill Sherry hogshead casks and bottled at 46%, it’s a bold expression from Speyside, which isn’t known for its smoky malts. This is an excellent departure from tradition.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Cinnamon and ginger aromas with rich dark chocolate and brown sugar, balanced by notes of orange peel and smoke.
Palate
Honeycomb and cocoa, laced with stewed red berries and sweet vanilla, leading to spice notes of black pepper and toasted almonds.
Finish
Full and rich with a smoky sweetness and morello cherry finish.
