Benromach's Contrasts Range features whiskies designed as a twist on the delicately smoky profile of brand’s core range, with other releases including Contrasts Triple Distilled and Contrasts Double Matured Bordeaux Wine Cask.
Benromach Contrasts Virgin Oak, is said to deliver notes of dried
banana, lemon and vanilla fudge on the nose, followed by notes of Seville
orange zest, butterscotch and smooth smoke on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Keith Cruickshank, Distillery
Manager at Benromach, said: “Every drop of this single malt whisky is made by
hand using the sharpened senses of our distillers who put their heart and soul
into creating our whisky. Having matured for ten years in Virgin American Oak
casks, the result is liquid that is packed with fruity aromas from the offset,
followed by zesty citrus and sweet butterscotch flavours. It’s a cracking dram.
With a limited number of bottles available for purchase, this is the perfect
dram for whisky enthusiasts looking to explore something a bit different.”
Benromach Contrasts Virgin Oak, is now available from specialist
retailers, for a RRP of £60.00.
