Benromach Contrasts: Kiln Dried Oak, 46%

The nose is dry and oaky, with ice cream cone, graham cracker, cinnamon, violin rosin, balsa wood, oak spices, and light woodsmoke, but an absence of fruit other than a hint of lemon peel. The waxy mouthfeel, reveals banana chip, honey, oak, pepper, malt, and ginger, with a malty creaminess breaking through the bold spices to usher in a finish of malt, bourbon biscuit, and chocolate waffle cone.
