Aged in first-fill bourbon casks and peated to a moderately high PPM (47ppm), this Benromach is a smoky, intense malt!
Benromach Peat Smoke distilled in 2008 is part of the small number of batches of peated whisky produced at the Speyside distillery.
Benromach Distiller is located on the outskirts of the ancient market town of Forres in Speyside.
This small and almost lost distillery produces a range of single malt whiskies that include Benromach Traditional -matured 5 ½ years in Bourbon (80% ) and Sherry casks (20%) and Benromach Organic.
In 1983 Benromach was closed by its then owners United Distillers. In 1993 Gordon & MacPhail, the Elgin-based whisky merchants and bottlers acquired the distillery and completely renovated its facilities.
Nose: Sweet vanilla with honey and cured meat aromas. Hints of apricot and lemon combine with a subtle tobacco note.
Palate: Cracked pepper with sweet strawberry and orange flavours. A delicate hint of aniseed combines with a lingering bonfire embers edge.
Finish: Lengthy with peat before a final faint, elastoplast note.
