BRAND NEW: Benromach 2012 Contrasts Peat Smoke

A very small-batch release from Benromach matured exclusively in first-fill sherry hogsheads using Scottish barley peated at a whopping 55ppm! Natural colour, free from chill filtration and bottled at 46% abv, this is one for all you peat heads who enjoy the fruity, sweet balance of an iconic Speyside dram too!

Nose: cinnamon, ginger, soft demerara sugar.

Palate: cocoa powder, honeycomb, stewed red berries, vanilla, pepper.

Finish: full-bodied finish, with cherry, peat smoke and lingering sweetness.

Whisky fans can allow themselves to be a little excited for this new release. There was great enthusiasm the last time Benromach decided to produce a dram that was completely foreign to their signature range, and this is no different.

A small-batch expression, this Benromach Peat Smoke Sherry Cask Matured is a rarity. It is only the second time that Benromach have produced a truly peaty, heavily sherried malt. Laid down in 2012 into first-fill sherry hogshead casks before being bottled in 2021, this whisky has a cask-imparted light mahogany colour.

For us, we love it when distilleries take a risk to create something truly out of the ordinary, and they have succeeded here. Have a wee taste and find out for yourself!
