Tasting Notes
Benromach's Contrasts Peat Smoke Sherry Cask is a bold and unique expression from the Speyside region, known for its more delicate whiskies. This smoky single malt is a delightful departure from tradition, crafted in small batches using heavily peated barley malts (55ppm) and matured in first-fill Sherry hogshead casks, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. The nose greets you with enticing aromas of cinnamon, ginger, dark chocolate, and brown sugar, balanced by notes of orange peel and hints of smoke. On the palate, you'll find honeycomb and cocoa flavors, complemented by stewed red berries and sweet vanilla, leading to spicy notes of black pepper and toasted almonds. The finish is full-bodied and rich, with a lingering smoky sweetness and morello cherry notes, leaving a lasting impression. Bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky is a must-try for those seeking a bold and unconventional Speyside malt that defies expectations.
