Benromach 2012 Contrasts: Peat Smoke First-Fill Sherry Hogsheads 46% 700ml information

The Benromach 2012 Contrasts: Peat Smoke First-Fill Sherry Hogsheads is a certified organic single malt whisky, distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2021. This exclusive release from the renowned Benromach Distillery in Speyside was matured wholly in first-fill sherry hogshead casks, with a limited availability of 6,000 bottles worldwide, of which less than 2,000 are available in the U.K. Known for its subtle smokiness, Benromach has pushed the boundaries with this heavily sherried peat smoke expression, capturing both innovation and tradition in one bottle.

On the nose, this whisky offers a delightful bouquet of cinnamon, ginger, and dark chocolate aromas, intertwined with Seville orange peel and sweet, heathery smoke. The palate is rich and inviting, revealing layers of cocoa powder, honeycomb, stewed raspberries, vanilla, black pepper, and toasted almonds, all complemented by hints of peat smoke and Morello cherry. The finish is long and full of character, with lingering peat smoke and a touch of sweetness.

This small-batch vintage expression is free from chill filtration and added coloring, bottled at a balanced 46% ABV. It showcases Benromach's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, resulting in a unique and memorable single malt that stays true to its roots while venturing into new territory.
