The Story
This distinctive release from Benromach was distilled in 2012 and finished in hand-selected Sassicaia wine casks from Tuscany. The result is a remarkable single malt that artfully balances Benromach’s signature light peat with vibrant fruit and elegant wine influences. Crafted using traditional Speyside methods and matured in the smallest distillery in the region, this bottling is a testament to quality craftsmanship and innovation.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Bright red berries and stewed plums mingle with soft campfire smoke, vanilla bean, and a hint of toasted oak.
-
Palate: Rich and velvety, with notes of blackcurrant, cherry jam, spiced chocolate, and earthy peat layered over hints of red wine tannins and nutmeg.
-
Finish: Long and warming, leaving traces of berry sweetness, subtle oak spice, and a lingering smoky dryness.
