Benromach Contrasts: Air Dried Oak, 46%

Price: 80 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Strawberry blancmange, raspberry, vanilla, tropical fruit, red apple, stone fruit, caramel, white pepper, and fresh barley notes on the nose. The first sip reveals raspberry, lemon, vanilla custard, and peppery spice; more time on the palate bananas Foster, malt, walnut, Brazil nut, hints of baking chocolate, Ameri cano with cream, and dark oak tannins emerge. Mint tea, herbal notes, and oak on the finish.
