Benromach are one of the very few Speyside distilleries to produce heavily-peated whisky, and this expression from spirit distilled in 2012 clocks in at an impressive 42 PPM (Phenol Parts per Million). Matured entirely in first-fill bourbon barrels, a very fragrant nose offers fresh vanilla, tart apples, white chocolate and rich, dense peat smoke. This carries through the palate with toasted marshmallow smores, lemon-lime sherbet and smoldering manuka chips, leaving a mouth-coating sweetness as the peat-fire fades.
