Benromach Contrasts: High Enzyme – 2012/2024 – 1st Fill Bourbon Barrels
Special features: This release from the Contrasts series by Benromach is dedicated to a rare style: Single Malt made from enzyme-rich barley, which is otherwise mainly used for Grain Whisky. The maturation in First Fill Bourbon barrels supports the fresh and vibrant flavor profile. The whisky combines traditional Speyside elements with an experimental approach that explores new facets.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Delicate, fresh aromas of lemon candies with a fizzy core, accompanied by barley malt, green apple, and fine jasmine notes.
Palate: Sweet and creamy, the citrus notes of grapefruit, lemon, and lime combine with juicy pineapple, honeycomb, and a hint of spicy pepper.
Finish: Long-lasting and fresh, marked by roasted oak and a subtle peppermint nuance.
Distillery/Bottler: Benromach is one of the traditional distilleries in the heart of Speyside. Founded in 1898, it was revived after a longer closure phase in the early 21st century and is now known for a combination of classic and innovative production processes. With the Contrasts series, Benromach ventures into new sensory paths and showcases the diversity of Single Malt from Speyside through unconventional experiments.
