Benromach Contrasts Unpeated 9 Year Old 2014 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Benromach Contrasts Unpeated 9 Year Old 2014 Single Malt Scotch Whisky offers an unusual take on Benromach’s traditional house style, crafted entirely from unpeated barley. Distilled in 2014 and matured for nine years in first-fill Sherry and bourbon casks before being bottled in 2024 at 46% ABV, this limited release emphasizes bright fruit, malt sweetness and spice without the distillery’s usual smoky character.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast pork, grilled chicken, mild aged cheeses, apple tart, pineapple desserts or toasted almonds.

Tasting Notes: Sweet and fruit-forward with vanilla fudge, malted biscuit, baked apple and bright citrus leading into tropical and red fruits, liquorice, oak and subtle herbal notes.

Nose: Vanilla fudge, malted biscuit and spiced baked apple with fresh lime, floral notes and ginger.

Palate: Candied pineapple followed by red apple, raspberry and raisin, with sweet liquorice, oak and subtle herbal notes.

Finish: Medium in length with refreshing menthol and a touch of pepper.
