Distilled from richly peated barley (42 PPM) and matured solely in ex-bourbon barrels for over 10 years, this is the newest release from Benromach's 'Contrasts' series. The peat smoke is quite mild and gentle to start, joined by a rounded and sweet vanilla flavour, ranging from custard to French vanilla ice-cream, offset with citrus. There is an aromatic toasted coconut quality, bringing contrast against the smoky flavour of bonfire embers, with the addition of spice-cupboard and dried apricot tartness to finish.
