This exclusive edition of whisky Benromach Virgin Oak 2013 belongs to the Contrasts series, in which the Benromach distillery explores unconventional tributes to its own style. Contrasts: Virgin Oak utilizes first-fill American oak casks that have been air-dried and then gently charred before use.
The distillation took place in 2013 and the whisky matured for approximately 10 years in these new casks.
The aroma reveals notes of overripe banana, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and delicate caramel with vanilla. The palate opens with a pronounced note of Seville orange peel, complemented by rich butterscotch, smooth smoke, and subtle vanilla.
The finish is long, citrusy with echoes of matured oak and gentle smoke.
This expression offers an intriguing alternative: instead of the traditional use of sherry or bourbon casks, it focuses on pure, oak-intensive maturation – ideal for connoisseurs seeking a subtly different yet high-quality Speyside single malt.
