The full story & FAQBackground · serving notes · questions
The Contrasts range
The Contrasts range is where Benromach steps away from its Signature style to test one variable at a time, such as the barley, the oak, the distillation or the peat. Each release is a limited small batch, bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour.
The whisky
Peat Smoke is Benromach's most intensely peated single malt. Maturing it only in first-fill bourbon barrels, with no sherry casks, keeps the smoke clean and adds vanilla, lemon and orchard fruit. Benromach describe the style as rich smoke with fragrant vanilla, honey and lemon sherbet, finishing with bonfire embers.
How to enjoy it
Serve it neat or with a few drops of water, which soften the peat and lift the citrus. It suits smoked fish, barbecue and strong cheeses.
