- Description
- Benromach's Contrasts series breaks from tradition with this 2014 bourbon-matured single malt elevated by notably higher peat levels than the distillery's core range. The smoke sits in balance with Benromach's underlying orchard fruit and vanilla notes from American oak, creating a gentler entry point into peated Speyside than heavily peat-focused distilleries. Medium-bodied and approachable at 46%, it bridges the gap between the distillery's classic style and those seeking more assertive smoke. A versatile dram for exploring how peat can complement rather than dominate Speyside character.
